Dedicated to the inter-Disciplinary Underground Science and Technology, it concerned multi-physics environmental R&D.

Numerous presentations on experimental methodology, numerical modeling, metrology and instrumentation development were done.

Scientist and industrials from all around the world were able to share knowledge and know-how in order to promote multidisciplinary research and innovation for small and medium scale underground science.
