    Virgo is a 3 kilometer interferometer built through an Italian-French collaboration, later extended to include the Netherlands, Poland, Hungary and Spain. The collaboration involves 11 laboratories in the member countries and more than 150 scientists.

    EGO is established under Italian law. Its governing body is the Council composed of six members nominated by the funding institutions. The Council appoints a Director who is the legal representative and chief executive of EGO. The Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee advises the Council on scientific and technical activities carried out by the Consortium. It is composed of up to ten scientific personalities.

    EGO, the European Gravitational Observatory, located in Cascina, in the Pisan countryside, is the institutional headquarters of the Virgo experiment, the only gravitational wave detector in Europe and one of four in the world. Gravitational waves are very faint cosmic signals that allow us to observe extraordinary phenomena in the deep Universe, such as the merging of black holes or stars.
