The SIGN network is pleased to highlight a recent radio interview featuring Professor Marco Pallavicini, Vice President of the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics, on the Einstein Telescope and the growing cooperation between Germany and Italy in gravitational wave research.
In an interview broadcast by the German public service radio WDR COSMO, Prof. Pallavicini discussed the scientific vision behind the Einstein Telescope, Europe’s next generation underground observatory for gravitational waves. He explained how this third generation detector will significantly extend our ability to observe the universe, providing deeper insights into black holes, neutron stars and other extreme astrophysical phenomena that shape cosmic evolution. The conversation also addressed the strategic collaboration between Sardinia and Saxony, two regions closely involved in the project, and the broader framework of Italian German cooperation in science, innovation and high technology. Beyond its fundamental scientific objectives, the Einstein Telescope is expected to stimulate advances in precision measurement, microelectronics and advanced data processing. The interview represents an important moment of public engagement, bringing cutting edge European research to a wider audience and underlining the societal and technological relevance of large scale scientific infrastructures. The full interview is available via WDR COSMO.
