Abstract

<jats:p>In our globalised economy, different countries need to find different ways to remain competitive in the marketplace. For larger countries, this often means maximising output in a given industry or industries. This is similar for countries that are blessed with copious natural resources.However, for smaller countries, the picture is more complicated. It is often necessary for them to invest in and corner a particular area of expertise or new field of activity. Luxembourg has been developing several technological avenues to help the country remain competitive both in Europeand across the globe. Specifically, they have developed research institutions with the aim of working closely with the needs of the nation, the continent and industrial partners. One such organisation is the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST). The LIST works primarily inthree key areas – the environment, information technology and materials science. These fields are interlinked and are three areas of research that are both constantly developing and important to many different industries. Improvements in these disciplines can directly impact manufacturingchain, civic life and citizens. Dr Noureddine Adjeroud is materials scientist and key member of the Nanomaterial and Nanotechnology team under the scope of the Materials Research and Technology Department. He has been instrumental in creating the Atomic Layer Deposition Centre of Excellence(ALD CoEx) within the Department. The aim of the ALD CoEx is to develop innovative materials for a whole range of applications through the Centre's expertise in atomic layer deposition (ALD).</jats:p>
