of June 2011
 Important dates:
 14/12/2010 - Mid Term Review meeting in Brussels

Status of the project, formal review, verification of the level of
accomplishment of the proposed milestones
 01/2011-03/2011:

TWT face to face “enlarged” meeting and WP4 meeting
 03/2011-04/2011:

Delivering of the ET design Study document
 04/2011-05/2011:

ET needs
 Real ET activities will start when advanced detectors will
be operative and “first detection” occurred, but, meanwhile
 The design of ET needs to evolve from the conceptual phase
to the technical one



The site candidate list must be reduced arriving to few possibilities
The infrastructures must be designed and customized for the few
sites
The detector design must evolves according to the lessons learned
in the advanced interferometers
 R&D on specific ET items (cryogenics, Silicon optics, lasers,
GGN suppression) must be performed in the next years
 Science Team activities must be coordinated and ET must be
present on the major GW conferences

ET R&D
 National institutions are correctly focused on the
realization of the advanced detectors, but we must
stimulate all possible source of support
 National
 “Integrated”:

ASPERA R&D
 call late 2011: we are acting to ask for ASPERA support
 European:


ILIAS-next failed in 2010
 Addressed to underground labs. ET marginally involved
Next “Integration Activity” call in 2011
 Last minute attempt to include a GW subject inside

ET & conferences
 ET science team activities need to be coordinated
 We must guarantee the presence of 3rd generation
GW observatories science in the next major
conferences
 as occurred at the past GWADW 2010 and Amaldi 8
we need sessions devoted to 3G in

Etnet main targets
 Keep, through dedicated workshops, the science
team coordinated in 3 technical WPs
 WP1: Site & Infrastructures
 WP2: Detector & Technologies
 WP3: Astrophysics
 Support participation to the fundamental GW
conferences
 Act the needed lobbying actions addressed to the
realization of the ET project
 Organize an annual ET general meeting
