Gravitational Waves GroupThe ET-PP INFRA-DEV Kick-off Meeting took place at the UAB Campus on 19-20 July 2022, hosted by IFAE.
The ET preparatory phase (ET-PP) is an INFRDEV project to address a number of fundamental prerequisites for the approval, construction and operation of the Einstein Telescope.
The coordinators of the different ET-PP work packages, the coordinators of the ET boards, and the members of the ET governing boards and other ET key actors met at the UAB campus to define the plan for the following months.
