Abstract :
[en] In the recent years, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has emerged as a new player in research as
part of a strategy to foster its knowledge for both economical and societal developments. In the
transport research field, the University of Luxembourg (created in 2003) with its Geography and
Spatial Planning Institute (created in 2007) and its Transport Engineering group (created in 2012)
joined forces with the public research institution LISER (previously CEPS-INSTEAD) to organize
the 2013 Transport Research Day of the BIVEC. Looking backward to the event while preparing
this editorial, we can see it actually played a kick-off role for the international diffusion of
Luxembourg research on transport and related land-use issues, and was a good occasion to shed
lights on Luxembourg specificities and commonalities within the Benelux, which we like to stress
in this editorial.
