The European Pulsar Timing Array (EPTA) is a European effort spanning multiple institutes and multiple telescopes to directly detect gravitational waves by using high-precision pulsar timing. The
project, instruments and its members are outlined, and methods and goals are discussed. The results of a the first EPTA upper limit on the stochastic gravitational wave background will be reported. The Large European Array for Pulsars (LEAP) will be introduced. LEAP is a project to coherently combine the signals of the large telescopes in Europe into a tied-array and increase the sensitivity, to that of a 200 m dish, for pulsars and thereby increase the precision of pulsar timing. I will present results from the initial combinations of data and discuss the prospects for the future. The LEAP project is funded through an European Research Council Advanced Grant to Michael Kramer.
