During this second ET Industry Webinar, we take you on a journey through the state-of-the-art R&D infrastructures being developed to tackle the Einstein Telescope’s major technological challenges.
Stan Bentvelzen, Chief Science Officer at the ET EMR Project Office, will provide an update on the latest scientific and technological challenges and explain how industry can play a crucial role in addressing them.
Romaine Kunst, Thermal Systems Engineer at DEMCON kryoz and project leader of the consortium developing vibration-free cooling technologies for ETpathfinder—and ultimately for the Einstein Telescope—will showcase how industry is already contributing to facilities such as ETpathfinder in Maastricht and ETCRISTAL in Liège.
Following this, Pieter Lerou, Managing Director at DEMCON kryoz, will offer insights into the strategic motivations behind DEMCON’s participation in these high-tech consortia and how the company is already benefiting from them.
Finally, Sam Jordens (POM Limburg) will bridge the gap between scientific challenges and industrial solutions. He will also introduce the ETpathfinder Smart Skills Lab, explaining how it can support SMEs in getting involved and preparing their workforce for the opportunities created by the Einstein Telescope.
