The race is not yet won, but Sardinia has an edge in winning the major European project of the Einstein Telescope.
Governor Alessandra Todde is also convinced that the Island can overcome the competition of Limburg , the Dutch territory bordering Belgium and Germany: «What I can tell you is that the fact that we have accelerated so much and allocated such a significant amount of money is making us run and also gives us great credibility at an international level and in the scientific community », explained the governor in Nuoro, for the second meeting in the three days to support the candidacy of the Sos Enattos mining site in Lula.
"We - added Todde - already have a mine while they have to dig. I hope that the choice is based more and more on scientific assumptions and not only on politics".
An event - the Einstein Telescope and Enabling Technologies (Ket) at the Chamber of Commerce of Nuoro - organized to share with businesses and the territory the work that is being done with the Einstein Telescope. "We are here to share with businesses all the great work that is being done and that will be done", continued Todde, who then underlined the investment already made by the State and the Region of 1 billion and 300 million.
"In Cagliari we met 150 scholars who told us they couldn't wait to be here to work on the project. And we have to make people understand this great opportunity for our region," he explained. " An epochal challenge . Today is an important day to make people understand how the billion will be spent. We will meet communities, mayors, entrepreneurs, to make them understand what is happening and to interpret what the next scenarios will be. We need to work side by side with businesses, associations and communities and share with them the various steps of this development choice that represents a driving force for the Island and the territory."
"We realized in several meetings, even recently in Confindustria, that in reality there is still a lot of information to share, we need to work a lot. Obviously the Region must do its part to clarify the path, the times - concluded the governor - The fundamental thing is to make all the agreements with the mayors and also use them within the individual territories as vehicles and make them understand what an opportunity it is for businesses and citizens. I believe that such a large project that as a safe investment has one billion and 300 million deserves attention and understanding".
