Einstein Telescope for business event
Date event: July 1, 2024
Since the launch of the valorization program 'Einstein Telescope for business' in the fall of 2023, great strides have been made. On Monday July 1, we look back but most of all we look forward. Anna Gimbrère, theoretical physicist, science journalist and presenter will guide us through a day filled with highlights.
What to expect?
We look back at the first milestones such as the formation of the consortium around the technology domain of vibration-free cooling. Demcon kryoz, Cooll and the University of Twente received the first R&D grant last February. Pieter Lerou, managing director of Demcon kryoz, will share where they stand.
Gideon Koekoek, associate professor of theoretical physics at Maastricht University will give a compact lecture on gravitational waves. The department of Gravitational Waves and Fundamental Physics will share insights about the ETpatfinder, the prototype of the Einstein Telescope housed at Maastricht University. A visit to this unique R&D lab is part of the program.
And off course you will have ample opportunity to meet entrepreneurs, scientists, politicians and shareholders involved in this exciting project.
The full program shall be announced soon.
Anna Gimbrère is a presenter, program maker and science editor. She graduated in theoretical physics from the University of Amsterdam.
