Our Facilities

BRISK2 offers biofuels researchers the opportunity to access facilities at 15 partner organisations. Below is a summary of all 55 installations, and at the bottom a rig list by topic, both with an interactive search feature.

To take advantage of Transnational Access with BRISK2, first find the rig/installation you would like to visit. Then contact the project partner/host organisation to begin developing your work plan and application form. Find out about eligibility and the proposal process on the Apply page.
