Abstract

The Breakthrough Listen (BL) Program is the most comprehensive search for extraterrestrial life ever done. One hundred million dollars have been invested, leading to thousands of hours of dedicated telescope time at two of the major radio astronomical facilities in the world, the Green Bank Telescope and the Parkes Telescope. In this paper, we outline how the Sardinia Radio Telescope is becoming involved in the BL initiatives. We present how we are planning to conduct observations for SETI as well as for pulsar and fast radio burst searches.
