On behalf of our SCAUT Association, we are extremely pleased that the VersuchsStollen Hagerbach (VSH), a founding member of SCAUT, has been recognized by the Swiss Federal Council as a "research infrastructure of national importance". This prestigious recognition is more than just an award; it is a testament to over 50 years of innovation work in the underground and the incredible commitment of our VSH colleagues.
This development will not only strengthen the position of VSH but also enhance the reputation of our entire SCAUT network in the research landscape.
We will accelerate projects, innovate, test prototypes under authentic conditions, and advance research with real practical relevance. The expanded resources will allow us to pursue even more ambitious goals.
This milestone in the history of VSH will also open up new opportunities for our SCAUT network!
