KM3NeT, the Cubic Kilometre Neutrino Telescope, is a European neutrino telescope that will operate at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. The international collaboration, in which about 250 scientists are involved, along with engineers and technicians, is led by a 5-person management team. In addition to the new Institute Board Chair, prof Antoine Kouchner from UPCité, France elected last June, the following people will be leading the collaboration:

• Spokesperson: Paul De Jong (Nikhef and University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
• Deputy Spokesperson: Damien Dornic (CPPM/CNRS, France)
• Physics and Software Manager: Rosa Coniglione (INFN-LNS, Italy)
• Technical Project Manager: Antonio D’Amico (Nikhef, The Netherlands)

In his introduction text on the KM3NeT website, De Jong says:

With KM3NeT we have embarked on an amazing project. It resonates with everyone I talk to, from the general public to students to people at funding agencies. We have employed more than 50 detection units and produced first results, and the discoveries coming not only show how well the detector works, but also how much there is still to explore in our field.

The transition from the current to the new Management Team will happen at the next Collaboration meeting at the end of January.
