News from the ET Collaboration
29.07.2026 The ET Collaboration is implementing several organizational developments to support its continued growth. Key initiatives include the introduction of Core and Community membership, new coordination structures for AI, multi-messenger science, and R&D, as well as updated governance documents. Together, these changes will strengthen coordination, recognize contributions, and prepare the Collaboration for the next phase of the Einstein Telescope. As the ET Collaboration continues to grow, structures and processes to better support ET´s scientific goals are being adapted. Following an evaluation of the current organisation, several important changes are now being implemented. As the Spokesperson and Deputy Spokesperson stated in their presentation at the recent Monthly Meeting, the guiding principles…
