New era for gravitational waves in Switzerland
Switzerland is further establishing itself as a leader in gravitational-wave research. 2026 has reinforced this status with the appointment of Michele Maggiore, professor at the University of Geneva, as spokesperson for the Einstein Telescope. This next-generation gravitational-wave detector is now entering its final stages of design and approval. With the newly awarded "SWISS-ET Grand Projet" grant, Swiss researchers are ready to play a central role in bringing the Einstein Telescope to life.
