After studying maths, experimental physics and astronomy, Cristina Poretti wanted to become a secondary school teacher. But then she ended up at the National Emergency Operations Centre. There she would coordinate radioactivity measurements to protect the population in the event of a nuclear disaster.

The near detector is very firmly in the hands of Swiss institutes – University of Geneva and ETH Zurich. Federico Sánchez from the University of Geneva gives an update of what has happened and what we can expect.
