Nikhef ET Meeting in Amsterdam

Wednesday 29 Mar 2023, 11:30 → 17:15 Europe/Amsterdam

WCW Building, Euler Room (Amsterdam Science Park)

The Nikhef ET Meeting on March 29, 2023, will be the first of planned regular in-person meetings, kicking off in Amsterdam Science Park, but switching to different locations in the future. These meetings aim to provide a broad forum to discuss Einstein Telescope research in the Nikhef Gravitational Waves group, and facilitate exchanges on ET organisation and collaboration. We hope to bring different groups together to cover a wide range of ET-related topics, from data analysis and instrument development, astronomy, to site geology. The first meeting will have presentation, tutorial and discussion components, accessible to a broad audience.

Please register until March 22.
