The University | About us…
The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character. The University was
founded in 2003 and counts more than 6,700 students and more than 2,000 employees from around the world. The University’s faculties and interdisciplinary
centres focus on research in the areas of Computer Science and ICT Security, Materials Science, European and International Law, Finance and Financial
Innovation, Education, Contemporary and Digital History. In addition, the University focuses on cross-disciplinary research in the areas of Data
Modelling and Simulation as well as Health and System Biomedicine. Times Higher Education ranks the University of Luxembourg #3 worldwide for its
“international outlook,” #20 in the Young University Ranking 2021 and among the top 250 universities worldwide.

The Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM) contributes multidisciplinary expertise in the fields
of Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Life Sciences and Medicine. Through its dual mission of teaching and research, the FSTM seeks to
generate and disseminate knowledge and train new generations of responsible citizens, in order to better understand, explain and advance society and
environment we live in.

The goal of the project “Automated Reasoning with Legal Entities” (AuReLeE) is to provide effective and general means for the automation of normative
reasoning processes based on legal knowledge bases. To this end, in the project the hired Postdoc will design (and optimally implement) reasoning
mechanisms for normative logics, in particular norm-based deontic logics. These decision procedures will be combined with a flexible approach to import
and re-use existing knowledge bases for their employment as underlying contexts for the normative reasoning tasks. The results of AuReLeE aim at allowing
the full utilization of existing legal knowledge bases’ potential for compliance checking.

Please see https://aurelee.net for details on the project.

AuReLeE is conducted at the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine of the University of Luxembourg. It is hosted by the Individual and Collective
Reasoning (ICR) research group at the Department of Computer Science. AuReLeE is funded by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) under grant CORE
AuReLeE (C20/IS/14616644).
