ET-PP News & Events

From October 1st to 4th, 2024, the Einstein Telescope (ET) took center stage at the Big Science Business Forum (BSBF) in Trieste, one of Europe’s leading industrial events.

The ET-PP INFRA-DEV Annual Meeting will be held from 17th to 18th June 2024 in Barcelona, hosted by the the Institut de Física d’Altes Energies (IFAE). The venue is the UPF (School of Management) Campus in Barcelona city centre. The coordinators of the different ET-PP work packages, the coordinators of the ET boards, and the members of the ET governing boards and other ET key actors will meet to report on the status of the ET-PP activities and define the plan for the following months.

The 2nd Einstein Telescope Annual Meeting will be the opportunity to discuss key points of the ET collaboration and of the ET design. The meeting is hosted by the “Gravitational waves” group of the Astroparticles, Astrophysics and Cosmology (A2C) department of the Irène Joliot-Curie Laboratoire des deux infinis (IJCLab). It will take place in the IJCLab Lehmann auditorium (building 200) in the campus of the Paris-Saclay University. Open to all ET collaboration members, it will start on Tuesday morning November 14th and end on Thursday November 16th at lunch time. In-person and remote registrations are possible.

The XIII symposium of the Einstein Telescope (ET) will be held in Cagliari, at the THotel from May 8th to May 12th 2023. A video (Zoom) link will be provided to allow remote attendance. The Symposium will be organized in parallel sessions, hosting workshops managed by the ET specific boards (EIB, ISB, OSB and SPB), and a plenary sessions to have a global view of all the activities on going. Along the week several lectures on the physics of ET will be organized with the support of the OSB for PhD students and young researchers.

The 2022 ET annual meeting will be the occasion to discuss key points of the ET collaboration and of the ET design. The meeting will be hosted by the European Gravitational Observatory (EGO) and will be the occasion to visit the largest European gravitational wave detector: Advanced Virgo. The meeting is open to all the ET collaboration members and to the aHEAD2020 members and it will be both in person and via videoconference. This event is supported by the Horizon 2020 Framework programme of the European Union, G.A. 871158
