David ​McClelland and Susan ​Scott will participate in a panel discussion at an event organised by the Italian Embassy on the evening of 16 August. The event is held at Physics Auditorium and is focused on funding E​instein T​elescope – a proposed third-generation ground-based gravitational wave detector, currently under study by some institutions in the European Union – and Italy's proposed location of Sardinia, Italy. ​As part of this event, Susan Scott will give a public lecture on the theory of general relativity, gravitational waves and the significance of larger and more sensitive gravitational wave detectors.
