The underground Einstein Telescope will be Europe's most advanced observatory for gravitational waves. It will allow researchers to hear black holes collide and learn about the early universe. The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany are jointly studying whether to host this world-class observatory.
Three tunnels of 10km long will be positioned 250 to 300m underground.
In this activity experts will present the plans, challenges and opportunities in the realization of this ambitious project.
