Water, energy and (urban) transportation are services of critical infrastructure (CI) in Europe. Up to now, there has been a gap in the European research landscape for an integrated, advanced research infrastructure in this field. The EU-funded GEOLAB project consists of 11 installations in Europe aimed to study subsurface behaviour and the interaction with structural CI elements and the environment. The project will aim to integrate and advance these key national research infrastructures towards a one-stop-shop of excellent physical research infrastructure for performing ground-breaking research and innovation to understand and address the challenges facing CI. The outcomes will be useful for stakeholders among academia, industry and CI asset managers.
