"The Josef Gallery, located in the central Bohemia region of the Czech Republic (not far from the capital, Prague), was first excavated in 1981 as an exploration complex for the potential mining of gold. In 2007, the gallery was substantially reconstructed to house the Josef Underground Educational Facility (Josef UEF), which subsequently became an autonomous workplace under the direction of the Czech Technical University in Prague. At the beginning of 2010, the UEF was renamed the Josef Regional Underground Research Centre (Josef URC) which, along with the extensive underground complex, features modern above-ground facilities. One of the most important roles of this research centre is to provide practical %22in-situ%22 instruction in the fields of geotechnical engineering, geology, geochemistry, radiochemistry and radioecology. The training of future experts in this authentic underground setting involves the participation of several other Czech universities and numerous experienced specialists from outside the academic sphere. The IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) has recently added the Josef URC to its prestigious list of international training centres . In addition to teaching and training, the Josef URC is heavily involved in a wide range of research and development activities. The Josef URC underground facilities are currently being used for research purposes as part of several European Union international experimental projects addressing various issues related to deep repository radioactive waste disposal (TIMODAZ - FP6, FORGE - FP7, PETRUS II - FP7) as well as for hosting domestic projects supported by the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Czech Science Foundation. The paper gives a more detailed description of the facility outlining various services provided by the Josef URC."@en .
