Two days of scientific discussion to take stock of INGV's participation in the European Einstein Telescope project and to present the Institute's new major project, Earth Telescope

Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4th June, at the Conference Room of its headquarters in Rome, theNational Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) will host the workshop ET@INGV.
Einstein Telescope (ET) it's the big one European research project science that, in 2023, Italy is a candidate to host a SOS Enattos, in Sardinia, in whose mines INGV has been carrying out experiments and research activities since 2019.
The meeting scheduled at the INGV Headquarters, aimed at researchers from the bodies and universities involved in the project, will have the aim of taking stock of the Institute's participation in ET and strengthening the synergy between research bodies and Universities to jointly support the Italian candidacy and make our country a protagonist.
ET, with the infrastructures of the future underground geophysical observatory “Sardinia Faber” under construction as part of the PNRR MEET project (of which INGV is the lead partner), will have to be hosted in a geologically compatible site for the operation of the most sensitive gravitational wave detector in the world, identified precisely in the area of ​​the Nuoro mines, where the seismic calm and geodynamic stability contribute to guaranteeing the high quality of the geophysical data collected.
The appointment at the beginning of June will also be an opportunity to present the INGV “Earth Telescope” project and to gather the scientific and technological interests of the Institute community.
During the ET@INGV workshop the researchers will discuss around two Round Tables: "The large projects, the scientific perspectives and the synergies between entities", moderated by the ANSA journalist Enrica Battifoglia, and “Sardinia, Geophysics and Einstein Telescope: open questions and common projects”, moderated by Matteo Serra (Communication coordinator of ET Italia, INFN).
The event will see the contributions of, among others, Carlo Doglioni (President of INGV), Marco Pallavicini (vice president of the INFN), Roberto Cimino (Ministry of University and Research), Claudio Chiarabba (Director of the Earthquake Department of INGV), Massimo Chiappini (Director of the Environment Department of INGV), Enzo Brocato (Director of the INAF Abruzzo Astronomical Observatory), Michele Punturo (Coordinator of the INFN ET Scientific Collaboration), Marica Branchesi (Professor of Astrophysics at the Gran Sasso Science Institute and Coordinator of the ET Observational Science Board), Domenico D'Urso (Professor of Physics at the University of Sassari), Enrico Calloni (Federico II University of Naples), Claudia Piromallo (INGV), Giovanni Diaferia (INGV), Irene Molinari (INGV), Maria Marsella (La Sapienza University of Rome).
