Organisation Description
The Grimsel Test Site (GTS), operated by Nagra, is an underground research laboratory focused on RD&D activities covering nearly all aspects of radioactive waste management and fundamental geosciences. The site also hosts the Grimsel Training Centre (GTC), established in 2017 as a permanent platform for knowledge exchange and training. The GTC provides tailor-made and recurring courses that combine theoretical lectures with hands-on training, offering practical skills for working safely underground and for the disposal of radioactive waste. Lecturers from GTS partner organisations ensure high-quality, relevant content suitable for participants with various levels of experience and expertise.
