The Interreg Baltic Sea Region funded project (2017-2020) Baltic Sea Underground Innovation Network (BSUIN) succeeded to achieve the main targets and provided a great learning experience to the consortium, its associative members and other stakeholders. The aim of the project was to make the underground laboratories in the Baltic Sea region more accessible for innovation, […]

Baltic Sea Underground Innovation Network (BSUIN) project is over. It is time to look at the results and experiences. As we prepared the final report of our project, we were asked to tell about the cooperation with partner countries Belarus and Russia. Two partners and two associated organizations from Russia have attended the BSUIN collaboration. […]
Participation in the BSUIN project, in which we present a research and scientific institution, allowed us to carry out many interesting measurements of natural radioactivity in several underground laboratories at different depths and in various types of rocks. From measurements to comparable data and recommendations The full characterization of underground laboratory facilities requires a thorough […]
Final Activity ReportsLearn more Characterisation of Underground Laboratories Organizational characterization Editor(s): Toni Müller The aim of activity 2.4 is the mapping of the prevalent organizational situation of the partner’s Underground Laboratories (UL). The report contains information on the conducted surveys on the infrastructure, technical equipment and operational procedures alongside the current business models of the […]
Call for Abstracts: virtual EGU (European Geosciences Union) General Assembly 2021. The abstract submission deadline is 13th of January 2021, 13:00 CET
On July 20-22, 2020, a group of researchers from the Institute of Physics of the University of Silesia (Poland) and the National Center for Nuclear Research (Poland) performed additional measurements of natural radiation at the Conceptual Lab development co-ordinated by KGHM Cuprum R&D center. These studies were similar to those previously carried out at the […]
I first heard about the BSUIN (Baltic Sea Underground Innovation Network) project in the early summer in 2017. Back then I didn`t work at the Tallinn University of Technology (Taltech). I lived in Brussels as the husband of a diplomat. During this period, I wasn`t directly employed, but I worked for my family in raising […]
The EU project BSUIN involves six underground laboratories (UL) around the Baltic Sea. I thought in the beginning that this project may have difficulties to find a common goal and focus since the geological setting, the original purposes and the maturity of the underground facilities differ considerably. Soon it was clear that the common goal […]
The BSUIN project brings together completely different underground laboratories and each acting under very individual conditions. This uniqueness in particular is a challenge when forming a unifying network and requires to question our own thinking. But at the same moment, this uniqueness is also a strength if experts from diverse fields are brought together. Physicists, […]
