Jean-Claude Juncker, the prime minister of Luxembourg, presented a distinguished lecture at Pitt on April 10. In introductory remarks, Pitt Chancellor Mark A. Nordenberg said Juncker is the longest-serving head of government in the European Union and “a highly respected leader.” Juncker has strongly supported research collaborations involving Pitt faculty and scholars in Luxembourg.
