Italy and Germany meet in Berlin to advance joint Einstein Telescope bid
Italian and German researchers and officials are meeting in Berlin to discuss a joint bid to host the Einstein Telescope, a planned European gravitational-wave observatory. The Italian side is led by Salvatore Stramondo, head of INGV's earthquake department, on behalf of INFN, INAF and INGV. The proposal would split the facility between Sos Enattos in Sardinia and Lusatia in Germany. Gravitational waves are tiny ripples in space that the detector would try to sense.
