Status report on the ANTARES project

The ANTARES collaboration is building a large neutrino telescope at a depth of 2500 m in the Mediterranean Sea. This detector will allow the search for high energy cosmic neutrinos from (extra-)galactic sources, for dark matter signatures like neutralinos captured in the Earth or the Sun, and the study of atmospheric neutrinos. The results of a new generation string sector, a junction box and a deep-sea cable deployed in the sea are reviewed. The strings to be deployed in 2005-2007 are under construction.
