Utrecht University secures tens of millions for further development of research facilities
EPOS-NL is a partnership between Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) and Utrecht University (UU) and is funded by NWO, as part of the national roadmap for large-scale research facilities.
EPOS-NL makes cutting-edge research facilities and data available to international researchers, with the goal of addressing key geo-societal challenges. These include:
- Exploration for (renewable) geo-energy resources
- Storage of fuels, CO2 and wastewater in the sub-surface, and
- Hazards such as induced or natural earthquakes
Addressing these challenges requires state-of-the-art research tools and often a multi-disciplinary approach. This is made possible by EPOS-NL, which provides a framework for integrating a wide variety of research facilities and data.
