Title: "KM3NeT Science & Status"

Abstract:
Nikhef plays a major role in the KM3NeT project, which is aimed at building a very large neutrino observatory in the Mediterranean Sea. Recently, partial funding has been obtained, which will be used to construct a first part of the detector on a short time scale. A collaboration was formed and a management team has been installed. Prototyping and testing is well underway. In this special colloquium, we will discuss the scientific motivation for the experiment, the technological progress, with emphasis on recent prototype results, and the organizational and financial status presented along with future ambitions.
