Short summary

The Grimsel Test Site has been used to underground research in granite for more than 35 years. The main purpose is to better understand the deep (450 m) geological environment which are typical depths expected for planned geological radioactive waste repositories. This paper presents the main findings from recent key ongoing research projects at the Grimsel Test Site.
