WHATS NEWLOGINLINKSCONTACT
The muscle behind TUNCONSTRUCT resides in the underground construction industry itself. Resolutions stem from an industry-centred Executive Board and a General Assembly.

A hierarchical responsibility structure contributes to achieve the research objectives while increasing individual commitment thereby multiplying the team´s overall efficiency.

The project is coordinated by Professor Gernot Beer, of the Graz University of Technology, Austria, who is responsible for Exploitation and Management.

TUNCONSTRUCT relies on active industry participation for future impact of targeted results. For this reason, leaders of its four research and technical development sub-programs - Design, Technologies, Processes, and Services, - have a strong industry background. Likewise, each of the specific work packages has a person and an institution leading its research efforts.
