Investigations for a Low Seismic Lab in Lusatia
06.12.2024 Investigations for a Low Seismic Lab in Lusatia Investigations are currently underway to determine where a Low Seismic Lab (LSL) can be realised in the granodiorite massif underground in Saxony’s Upper Lusatia region. The challenge is to create an environment of absolute seismic calm. Read more

Geometric Foundations of Gravity 2025, June 30 – July 4 in Tatu
Geometric Foundations of Gravity 2025, June 30 – July 4 in Tatu Geometric Foundations of Gravity is a conference dedicated to the various approaches to gravity that venture beyond the basic formalism of general relativity, i.e., the description in terms of a massless metric field in Riemannian geometry derived from the Einstein-Hilbert action. The topics will range from the foundational issues to the applications in cosmology, gravitational waves, black holes, and other objects. Conference Website

Lusatia Proposed Candidacy as Site for ET
12.11.2024 During the ET Collaboration´s Annual Meeting, Lusatia has proposed to become an official third candidate site for ET. This marks a significant step forward for the region, highlighting its unique combination of scientific, technological, and geological assets that align with the ambitious goals of the ET project. The Einstein Telescope is a proposed European gravitational wave observatory that aims to pioneer new frontiers in astrophysics by detecting gravitational waves from the most elusive and powerful cosmic events. With its advanced design and innovative technology, ET is poised to transform our understanding of the universe and make Europe a global leader in gravitational wave research. Lusatia’s geological foundation, specifically its…

European Research Council Synergy Grant: Making sense of the unexpected in the gravitational-wave sky
05.11.2024 ERC Synergy Grant: Making sense of the unexpected in the gravitational-wave sky Existing and future gravitational-wave detectors will be capable of observing signals with such precision that they may reveal possible deviations from Einstein’s general theory of relativity and the standard model of particle physics. To fully exploit this unique instrumental capability, fundamental advances are required in the theoretical description of black holes and their dynamics, the gravitational waves they emit, their cosmic environment, and the physics beyond the standard model. To provide the necessary theoretical framework, the project GWSky has been awarded 12 million euros over the next six years by the European Research Council. Read more
