Status of the KM3NeT experiment and contributions from ECAP — •Rodrigo Gracia-Ruiz for the ANTARES-KM3NET-ERLANGEN collaboration — Erlangen Centre for Astroparticle Physics, Erlangen, Germany

There are exciting times ahead for neutrino physics and neutrino astronomy! Despite the pandemic the KM3NeT detectors keep growing at two locations in the depth of the Mediterranean Sea. They currently host a total of 18 detection units, 10 for the ORCA detector in France and 8 for the ARCA detector off the coast of Sicily, with a total of more than 10000 photomultiplier tubes in 324 optical modules. Further significant extensions of the detector arrays are under way. This already enables sensitive investigations of GeV-scale atmospheric and TeV-to-PeV-scale cosmic neutrinos during the ongoing commissioning phase. We will report on the status of the KM3NeT detectors, first results on flavour oscillations, and the contributions from the ECAP team to these scientific endeavours.
