Which location will be chosen to accomodate Europe's new gravitational wave observatory (the Einstein Telescope)
Resolve criterion:
- An official communication on the selection of a project site will be sufficient to resolve this market.
- The market can be extended if the selection process is still pending.
- In case of an official cancellation of the project, the market gets resolved N/A.

Update 2025-03-19 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Additional Resolution Details:
If the project board selects two different locations for telescope facilities, the resolution will allocate 50% weight to each of these locations.
@ArmandodiMatteo Yes, if the project board decide 2 different locations will get a telescope facility, the market will resolve to 50% on both locations.
@RobinJanssens Nice question! Will this resolve on reports of where it will be built, or does it require it actually to be built?
And if there are no such reports by market close, does it resolve N/A, or get extended (perhaps resolving N/A also if there are reliable reports that the project has been cancelled)?
@chrisjbillington Thanks for the question.
- An official communication on the selection of a project site will be sufficient to resolve this market.
- It is currently expected that a decision can be made in 2024 but as with many politically involved stuff it is possible this get postponed, In that case it will be extended.
- In case of cancellation of the project, the market get resolved N/A.
I will update this in the description.
