The SATGEO team was present at the General Assembly 2026 of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) Members of the PoliMi SatGeo team attended the “EGU General Assembly 2026” in Vienna (Austria), presenting the results of our work with a poster “The space-wise approach for the computation of global and local gravity field solutions from NGGM/MAGIC simulated data” by M. Reguzzoni, L. Rossi, A. M. Eslami, and F. Migliaccio , in session G4.2 Satellite Gravimetry: Data Analysis, Results and Future Mission Concepts.   Moreover, our members were co-authors to oral presentation “GUESS: a 3D crustal model of Central Italy for geoneutrino physics” by V. Strati, L. Rossi, A. Albertella, M. Buttinelli, M. Capponi, P.Conti, A. Ermini, F. E. Maesano, R. Maffucci, F. Mantovani, L. Pagano, S. Ramouz, K. G. C. Raptis, M. Reguzzoni, R. Salvini, D. Sampietro, P. S. Dinani, and M. M. Tiberti in session SM6.1 Joint modelling and inversion of multi-disciplinary geophysical datasets: crust and lithosphere.  The EGU is the leading organization for Earth, planetary and space science research in Europe with about 20 000 members from all over the world. This year, the General Assembly took place between 3-8 May and welcomed 22 497 registered attendees, of whom 20 027 made their way to Vienna from 125 countries and 2 470 joined online from 107 countries. It was a great success, with 20 173 presentations given in 1 014 sessions. Thus, 58% of the abstracts were identified as contributions from Early Career Scientists (ECS).  More details can be found on the official website:  https://www.egu26.eu 

PoliMi participated in the General Assembly of the CARIOQA-PMP in Munich The General assembly of the CARIOQA-PMP project was held on March 19th and 20th at the main campus of Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Munich, Germany. This key milestone brought together consortium members, including project officer, technical, research and industry partners from across Europe. In these two days, participants presented all the activities carried out since October 2024 and reviewed progress across work packages and discussed mission scenarios, subsystem developments, dissemination strategies, legal and financial aspects, and upcoming implementation phases. The SATGEO team presented its work performed for WP2. Learn more about the General Assembly: https://carioqa-quantumpathfinder.eu/the-carioqa-pmp-project-held-its-2026-general-assembly-in-munich/

CARIOQA-PMP: Interview with the Project officer As part of the ongoing efforts to maximise the impact of the CARIOQA-PMP project, we are delighted to present the interview with the CARIOQA-PMP Project Officer, Simon Silvio Conticello.  CARIOQA-PMP (Cold Atom Rubidium Interferometer in Orbit for Quantum Accelerometry – Pathfinder Mission Preparation) aims to develop a new technology to be used in space within the next decade, exploiting a quantum accelerometer for the determination of the Earth’s gravitational field. Recently, a new video has been released on the project’s YouTube channel, where the project officer, Simon Conticello, discusses the project, its objectives, and its key significance at the European Commission level.
