The ET-R&D project is funded within the ASPERA-2 framework for the period from 1 March 2013 to 29 February 2016. It is aimed at essential R&D tasks in preparation for a technical design of the Einstein Telescope. While the basic design mostly relies on techniques well developed and tested for the advanced detectors, several aspects still require R&D with long lead times. We will target the most important of these topics in the ET-R&D project via 5 working groups (WGs).
