The first business day of the Dutch valorisation programme ‘Einstein Telescope for business’ took place on 1 July 2024 in the MECC in Maastricht.

There was a diverse plenary programme with a crash course in gravity waves from Gideon Koekoek (Maastricht University and Nikhef), as well as a look behind the scenes of the first R&D project on vibration-free cooling technology, by Demcon Kryoz, Cooll and the University of Twente. During and after lunch there was an information market on the five ET-NGF calls on ET-R&D projects.
