Update from the International Einstein Telescope Collaboration
Our international Collaboration continues to grow steadily. We are now more than 2,000 members from 291 institutions across 34 countries. This broad community is one of our greatest assets as we move into the next decisive phase of the project. This year, a transition in leadership is approaching. After many years of service in building and shaping both the project and the Collaboration, Michele Punturo and I will hand over responsibilities to a new team. Our mandate concluded on 22 March 2026, and the new team took over: Michele Maggiore and Angelique Lartaux. Their election statement is available on the ET Wiki (https://wiki.et-gw.eu/CB/ElectionSPDSP2026), and they also presented their vision for the future of ET at…

News from the German ET Community
Dear Members of ET Germany, Over the past months, several important developments have taken place. I am pleased to share a brief overview of significant milestones. Germany Joins the Board of Governmental Representatives Germany is now officially a member of the Einstein Telescope’s Board of Governmental Representatives (BGR). The BGR brings together national representatives — typically from the relevant ministries — of the countries supporting the Einstein Telescope and serves as the central decision-making body for the project. Until recently, Belgium, Croatia, France, Greece, Italy, Poland, Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom were members, while Austria and Germany held observer status. Germany’s formal admission to the BGR marks an important step…
