«The Einstein Telescope must be built in Sos Enattos, because it is the best place to host it. A site that could become like CERN in Geneva».
This was stated by the Minister of University and Research, Anna Maria Bernini , in Sardinia for the inauguration of the Academic Year of the University of Cagliari.
The government representative will also be in Lula for a visit to the Sos Enattos mining site, candidate to host the Einstein Telescope , the largest interferometer for studying gravitational waves.
An opportunity which, said the president of the Region Christian Solinas , "represents an important stage in the process of bringing Sardinia and Italy closer to the goal".
“With the hoped-for green light for the construction of the powerful third generation gravitational wave detector in Sardinia, Sardinia and Lula will be projected to the attention of the world – he added -. We have before us a unique, unrepeatable opportunity to give our Island the concrete opportunity of a goal of immense prestige that brings with it important economic repercussions, the emblem of Sardinia as an ideal place for high technology and scientific research. The growth opportunities linked to the ET must not be missed, with repercussions in every economic sector and in different professional fields both in the phase of construction of the infrastructure and with the entry into force of the observatory, with over 35 thousand new jobs ».
Tomorrow the minister will instead be in Sassari.
