J-PAS is a spectro-photometric survey that will be conducted at the Observatorio Astrofísico de Javalambre (OAJ) by the 2.5m diameter Javalambre Survey Telescope (JST/T250). JST is equipped with the 5 sq.deg. Field of View Javalambre Panoramic Camera (JP-Cam). The filter system includes 54 narrow and 4 broad-band filters covering the optical range which will allow J-PAS to measure the redshift of several millions of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRG), Emission Line Galaxies (ELG) up to z = 1.3 and quasars (QSO) up to z = 3.9 with a precision of 0.003(1 + z). The survey will cover a maximum area of 8500 sq. deg. in the northern hemisphere. More information in the official webpage (link)

Euclid is an ESA medium class astronomy and astrophysics space mission which launch is planned for Q1 2020. The Euclid mission aims at understanding why the expansion of the Universe is accelerating and what is the nature of the source responsible for this acceleration which cosmologists refer to as dark energy. Euclid will explore how the Universe evolved the past 10 billion years to adress questions related to fundamental physics and cosmology on the nature and properties of dark energy, dark matter, and gravity, as well as on the physics of the early universe and the initial conditions which seed the formation of cosmic structure.

The Einstein Telescope is a third-generation detector for gravitational waves that is currently being developed by a consortium of European research institutions. This cutting-edge detector is expected to be far more sensitive than any previous gravitational wave observatory, capable of detecting gravitational waves from sources that are too weak or too distant to be observed with current technology. The Einstein Telescope will employ a triangular design, with three 10-kilometer-long arms arranged in an equilateral triangle and buried underground to reduce noise from environmental factors. With the ability to observe gravitational waves with unprecedented precision, the Einstein Telescope has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the universe and uncover new insights into the nature of gravity and the origins of the cosmos.
