Researchers can't wait to start doing measurements with the Einstein Telescope. It will be a world-class underground observatory, up to ten times more sensitive than its predecessors. According to Stan Bentvelsen – who with Guido Derks forms the management of the Einstein Telescope project office – the facility is also of interest to parties from far beyond the realm of science.

In May, the University of Liège started ground drilling in Aubel (Wallonia). It is the first of a series of drillings to determine the best location for the underground observatory. In combination with other surveys, the Einstein Telescope project office is mapping the subsurface. Programme manager Wim Walk takes you through the process in this video.

Designing the Einstein Telescope requires technology at the limits of what's feasible. That means opportunities for industry. Smaller companies can benefit too, as shown by the story of Vamac, a family-run business from the Flemish town of Diepenbeek.

The Einstein Telescope project office was launched in January with staff from Flanders, Wallonia and the Netherlands. Colleagues from Germany will also join soon. The team recently went out to discuss progress. A visit 'on location', in this case to the drilling in Aubel, was a must.
