The Science Team is composed by all the scientists that (not only) in Europe are interested to contribute to the ET design study and to the 3rd generation GW observatory science. It is composed mainly by scientists belonging to the eight beneficiaries, but it is freely open to the scientists that, in the World, want to collaborate to the ET project. This is permitted by the, almost, centralized budget management that permits EGO to support newcomers willing to effectively collaborate. The growth quickly reached the large number of 220 scientists (Oct 009) subscribed to the ET-Science Team mailing list.
The distribution of these members is reported in the following figures with about a 20% of members not belonging to any beneficiary.
