Technological breakthroughs for the Einstein Telescope can be applied much more widely than just for measuring gravitational waves. R&D coordinator Jürgen Van Gorp is bringing scientists and companies together to market research results as quickly as possible. ‘Really fantastic to be able to follow this process.’

The drilling campaign to map the underground in the Einstein Telescope search area has already yielded over two kilometres of samples. Each sample is carefully documented and studied. Recently, geologists from the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany met at the ‘Core house’ in Aubel (Belgium) to exchange knowledge.

Noah Idris Can is 10 years old and already particularly fascinated by the Einstein Telescope. He can’t wait for the discoveries the instrument will make. And who knows, he might be able to work there later.

Philippe Orban, mining engineer and geologist at the University of Liège, is conducting essential research on the impact of the Einstein Telescope project on water resources. The studies aim to minimise negative impacts of construction on groundwater and surface water, while optimising the use of water resources.

Four students at the UCLL teacher training college in Leuven have recently been busy with a secondary school pilot project for pupils aged 12 to 16. They devised practical applications to integrate the Einstein Telescope into school curricula.

Interactive learning, doing your own research, and sharing experiences. These are things that secondary school students can do in the Einstein Telescope Education Centre (ETEC) at the Discovery Museum in Kerkrade. Not only do they learn about gravitational waves and the Einstein Telescope, but they also experience what it is like to collaborate on a complex project and share the results of their research.

The Dutch cabinet, together with the Province of Limburg and science financier NWO, is taking the next step to bring the Einstein Telescope to the Netherlands.
