## General Description
University of Luxembourg's **Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT)**, is an international research and innovation centre in secure, reliable and trustworthy ICT systems and services. It plays an instrumental role in Luxembourg by fueling innovation through research partnerships with industry, boosting R&D investments leading to economic growth, and attracting highly qualified talents. It also provides due diligence and support for research projects incorporating Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). The center works closely with colleagues in the Technology Transfer Office and also co-ordinates a community of 'FOSS Liaisons' representing a range of research groups across the center.

University of Luxembourg's Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT), is a center of competence and best practice for delivering high quality software. It also provides due diligence and support for research projects incorporating Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). The center works closely with colleagues in the Technology Transfer Office and also co-ordinates a community of 'FOSS Liaisons' representing a range of research groups on campus.
SnT **supports a proper use and deployment of free and open-source software (FOSS)** across its research activities. To ensure high technical and legal quality of software assets, SnT TTO has a dedicated task force (an OSPO, internally referred to as the FOSS team) to help researchers, developers, and partners with the matter. The FOSS team mission is to enable better impact with valorization and dissemination of high-quality software, free of any potential legal risks and IP infringements.

## Core Objectives

- Building awareness of open source and open source software
- Compliance
- Smooth IP valorization of software assets
• To design and manage the SnT FOSS policy, underlying processes, and guidelines, as well as necessary tools (knowledge base, repository, etc.)
• To advise researchers to choose adequate inbound and outbound software licences in their work,
• To safeguard necessary legal compliance of third-party components, respecting strategic objectives of the projects (i.e. partnership, spin-off, publications, etc.)
• To provide tailored trainings and learning materials to SnT staff, to develop essential open-source-oriented skills,
• To serve as a single point of contact for any internal and external enquiries related to SnT software and licensing,
• To moderate the community of FOSS users across SnT staff to foster collaborative work and knowledge sharing.
