On Friday, September 27, the annual European event dedicated to showcasing scientific research returns. The Einstein Telescope project will be the focus of several events, particularly in Cagliari, Nuoro, and Sassari, cities included in the SHARPER network, one of the Italian projects supported by the European Commission for organizing the European Researchers’ Night. Among the scheduled events, there will also be “pre-events” taking place from September 23 to 26.
