Dear Members,

The underground Einstein Telescope will be Europe's most advanced observatory for gravitational waves, allowing research to hear black holes collide and learn about the early universe. One of the most promising locations for this world-observatory is the border area of the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany with all three countries' governments expressing support for the project.

You are cordially invited to join us in the Dutch town of Mheer for an in-depth discussion about why this project matters and what it means for businesses and residents in the region. 

A networking reception will follow at a truly exceptional venue, the Kasteel Mheer.

This event is organized in partnership with AmCham The Netherlands.
