  The LUCE (LUtetium sCintillation Experiment) project will search for the
176Lu electron capture based on a milli-Kelvin calorimetric approach. This
decay is of special interest in the field of nuclear structure, with
implications for the s-process and for a better comprehension of the nuclear
matrix elements of neutrinoless double beta decay (0{\nu}\b{eta}\b{eta}) and
two-neutrino double beta decay (2{\nu}\b{eta}\b{eta}). Possible impacts also
include the development of a new class of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus
scattering (CE{\nu}NS) and spin-dependent (independent) dark matter detectors.
We report on the current status and design of a novel detector cryogenic-module
for the measurement of the electron capture and detail a future measurement
plan.
