About EUL
History
A shared European platform for underground RDI
EUL is a registered non-profit organisation connecting multipurpose underground facilities and the communities that use them for research, development, innovation, testing, education and demonstration.
From regional cooperation to a European association
EUL grew out of the Baltic Sea Underground Innovation Network (BSUIN), which improved the visibility, characterisation and accessibility of underground laboratories for academic and business users. The follow-on Empowering Underground Laboratories Network Usage project continued this work in 2021 by developing services, customer relationships and a sustainable network model.
