Einstein Telescope EMR Site & Technology

The ultimate goal of the E-TEST project is to have in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine a world-leading laboratory, a gravitational wave detector also known as the Einstein Telescope. Understanding the beginning of the Universe is the dream of Humanity. Thanks to gravitational waves, the region’s leading scientists, engineers and high-level technology SMEs and the specific cross-border geological conditions, this will be made possible. To achieve this, it will require an ultra-cold innovative new observational instrument installed in a large infrastructure buried at 300 m deep in the for attenuating vi…

About the Research, technological development and innovation objective

Thematic Objective 1 of the 2014–2020 Cohesion period funds research, technological development and innovation. It supports R&D infrastructure, technology transfer, business-academia partnerships and pilot lines that close the gap between scientific discovery and market application across EU regions.

Co-funding: the EU contributes €7.5M toward a total project cost of €15.0M — a co-funding rate of 50%, with the remainder covered by national, regional or private sources.

Kohesio is the European Commission's open-data platform for projects co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund Plus, the Cohesion Fund and the Just Transition Fund. It draws on lists of beneficiaries published by national managing authorities and harmonises them into a single EU-wide view.
