DESY plays a leading role in the planned Ice Cube-Gen2 experiment. Ice Cube-Gen2 is a large research infrastructure to be constructed at the South Pole, with a significant German contribution. It has recently been successful in the German research infrastructure prioritization process. It will follow in the footsteps of Ice Cube, which has been the dominant project in neutrino astronomy.

At its Zeuthens location, DESY has a strong focus on astroparticle physics ( ). In particular, we host one of the largest groups in Ice Cube and play a leading role in the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G). We coordinate the German efforts for Ice Cube-Gen2 and play a major role in the international project.

• Preparation of the DESY contribution towards Ice Cube-Gen2, with a particular focus on hardware and radio technology
• Responsibilities for the laboratory tasks towards Ice Cube-Gen2 and contribution to the project management in preparation of Preliminary and Final Design Review
• Research in instrument development and detector optimization
• Contributions to RNO-G in its function as pathfinder experiment for Ice Cube-Gen2
