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 Europe and 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 in three 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 manufacturing chain, 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).

The Individual

In the education of medical students, an increasing number of simulation techniques and teaching methods are being used and implemented. The technique of their work is based both on the theoretical aspect of teaching and on the development of practical skills. However, the final goal of all these techniques is to improve the quality and mastery of the methods of medical care provided in future practical activities. In this work, one of the most ancient and everywhere used methods of practical training was used to stimulate the individual interest of students of the surgical profile.

This chapter examines freedom of expression in international human rights law. It discusses the freedom of the press and media; overlap with other rights (correspondence, privacy, and association); and exceptions to freedom of expression. The chapter concludes that the scope of the freedom of expression is still evolving and that international bodies are struggling with the challenges of the information technology age.

The University

The course innovation in Engineering Mechanics in the Civil and Hydraulic Engineering Department, Dalian University of Technology is reviewed in this paper. For several decades, a complete system of mechanics teaching has been built up in the University. However, some drawbacks have appeared showing the system not apt to the information-technology age. In order to improve the teaching of Mechanics subjects and make it more suitable for the modern college education, a course innovation has been carried out since 1997 in the Civil and Hydraulic Engineering Department. The innovation includes the following perspectives: the construction of a new Mechanics teaching system, the adoption of new teaching methods, the edition of textbooks and the enforcement of experiments and practices. After a long time of practice, a new teaching system has been formulated and a much class time has been saved. Meanwhile, the qualification-oriented education rather than the examination-oriented education is emphasized. It is demonstrated that students benefit from this course innovation for not only mastering the knowledge from textbooks better, but also for greatly improving their abilities of analyzing and solving engineering problems.
