Uppsala University follows Swedish law regarding equal rights and allows no discrimination due to gender, race, religion or sexual preferences. The university has a strong program for monitoring that the regulations are followed.

The Department of Earth Sciences at Uppsala University has significant experience in CO2 storage through its involvement in two EU projects, CO2SINK (www.CO2sink.org) and MUSTANG (www.CO2mustang.eu), as well as acquiring, processing and interpreting surface and borehole seismic surveys. This experience will be applied to advancing active seismic monitoring methods in WP3. The department is especially suited to carry out research at the Ketzin site since it has been involved in nearly all aspects of the previous active seismic studies at the site.
