The School on Gravity: from motion to commotion, June 22-26 2026 at NBI Copenhagen
The School on Gravity: from motion to commotion, June 22-26 2026 at NBI Copenhagen Understanding the gravitational interaction is one of the great scientific endeavors of the 21st century. The Nobel Prize-winning discovery of gravitational waves in 2015, and subsequent detections by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration, have marked a revolutionary step forward in physics and astrophysics by opening an entirely new window for exploring the Universe. Future upgrades to these detectors, along with upcoming facilities such as LISA and the Einstein Telescope, promise even more breakthrough discoveries that the next generation of scientists will need to interpret.

ET mourns the loss of Rai Weiss.
ET mourns the loss of Rai Weiss. With deep sadness, the Einstein Telescope Collaboration acknowledges the passing of Rainer Weiss. The longtime MIT professor shared a Nobel Prize for his role in developing the LIGO observatory and detecting gravitational waves. As both a scientist and a mentor, he profoundly influenced many of us. His legacy will continue to guide and inspire us. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Rai´s family, friends, and the wider community. In recent years, Rai made important contributions to the development of the Einstein Telescope vacuum pipe technology, once again proposing innovative and ambitious ideas that exemplified his spirit. https://news.mit.edu/2025/professor-emeritus-rainer-weiss-dies-0826
