Situated in the heart of Switzerland the ITC School provides both theoretical and practical training and research in all aspects of science, engineering, decision-making and communication concerned with underground waste management and related environmental issues. ITC is based in Switzerland, but organises courses worldwide. Many of our courses have been held in or around Merringen, in the upper Aare valley, in the heart of the Alpine region.
The ITC domicile is in Innertkirchen in the Berneroberland. The Region offers sport, fun and relaxation for young and old! Experience the diversity of an alpine summer and the fascination of a winter wonderland surrounded by mountains, lakes and the hospitality of the local people.
Information on the Region is available at http://www.berneroberland.ch/ while the details of Innertkirchen are at www.innertkirchen.ch/gemeinde.html
The Region is readily accessible from major airports in Switzerland either by car or by rail within 3 to 4 hours. The nearest SBB (Swiss National Railway) station is at Meiringen where people can take MIB (Meiringen-Innertkirchen-Bahn) for 10 minutes to get to Innertkirchen. The train timetables are available at http://www.rail.ch/

Under the auspices of the IAEA, nationally developed Underground Research Facilities (URFs) and associated laboratories are being offered for use by other nations. The URFs and laboratories form a “Network of Centres of Excellence” for training in and development of waste disposal technologies. If your organisation is from a participating country in the IAEA training network scheme you may be able to request financial support from the IAEA for courses run as part of the Network scheme.
The 2008 Assembly of Members took place on March 11th in Baden, Switzerland.
