Physicists and scientists have been studying the universe for centuries, and now, for the first time, we can build a telescope to help them explore it through gravitational waves dating back to the Big Bang! 🚀🌌   This morning, we hosted a breakfast session with Embassy of Belgium in the United States of America, Delegation of Flanders to the USA, SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Science Foundation (NSF), The George Washington University, John Hopkins University, Embassy of Canada | Ambassade du Canada, and British Embassy Washington to talk about the Einstein Telescope, an underground telescope that can test predictions from Einstein's theory of relativity on cosmological scale, study the physics close to the black holes in detail, and shed light on the dark material and dark energy.   This will be Europe's most advanced observatory that will allow researchers to hear black holes collide and learn about the early universe. Plans call to build it in the Meuse-Rhine Eu region, at the Netherlands - Belgium - Germany border.   We recognize all women sitting at the table today!   Thank you for joining us!

The Netherlands' offshore wind innovation mission visited the State Pier in New London Port, hosted by the Connecticut Wind Collaborative. A Dutch delegation of industry, research, and government experts in the offshore wind sector is traveling around New England to inspire and be inspired, identify potential collaborations, and share best practices. The visit to New London’s port was incredibly interesting: we were in awe of the size of the turbine elements and how close we were to the action. This visit sparked great conversations that we can follow up on. Here’s a short outline of our visit: The program started on Tuesday evening in Boston, followed by a trip to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to learn about their environmental monitoring research. New Bedford was the next stop, where we attended the New Bedford Ocean Cluster’s annual conference on offshore wind. The conference engaged us in all aspects of the offshore ecosystem, including a sunset tour to view the Vineyard Wind 1 port and vessel. After New London, we will continue south to visit the Offshore Wind Innovation Hub in NYC. Netherlands Innovation Network in the United States
