Since 2017, the University of Luxembourg, through its Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance is actively promoting the Rule of law through legal knowledge in the framework of an Inter-University Cooperation Project (2017-2021) signed in 2015 between the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and Lao People’s Democratic Republic.
This project is a bilateral cooperation funded by the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, Directorate for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs. It provides assistance in the field of legal higher education to the National University of Laos (NUoL), specifically the Faculty of Law and Political Science.
