• Listening to the Cosmos: New Frontiers in Gravitational Wave PhysicsAug 24 – Sep 26, 2026, Firenze

    Listening to the Cosmos: New Frontiers in Gravitational Wave Physics, Aug 24 – Sep 26, 2026, Firenze The first detection of gravitational waves from the Ligo-Virgo-Kagra collaboration and the recent results of several pulsar timing arrays have opened the exploration of the gravitational wave Universe. Over the next decade, several other ground and space-based experiments will join this exploration and allow us to access a broad band of the gravitational wave spectrum. This new exploration comes with a series of challenges that can only be overcome through close collaboration between experimentalists and theorists. This workshop will bring together experts working on the experiments enabling this exploration, as well as particle…

  • ETpathfinder Visiting Scientists Programme Open For Applications

    29.09.2025 ETpathfinder Visiting Scientists Programme Open For Applications The ETpathfinder Visiting Scientists Programme provides funding to welcome researchers and engineers to our ETpathfinder R&D facility in Maastricht, the Netherlands. This program is designed for senior scientists and engineers, postdoctoral researchers and experienced PhD students who wish to engage with cutting-edge interferometric technology while contributing their expertise to advance our experimental capabilities. ETpathfinder serves as a R&D fieldlab facility for developing technologies that will enable future -generation gravitational wave detectors, such as Einstein Telescope. Our research focuses on high-precision interferometry with cryogenic silicon test masses, seismic isolation systems, optics, photonics, quantum noise reduction, controls and environmental monitoring as well as on…

  • 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
