2024 edition
With experiments, games, immersive experiences and seminars, the INGV welcomes the general public for an exciting three-day event dedicated to Space and the potential that space technologies have in our daily lives.
On the occasion of National Space Day (GNS),National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) participate inExpo-Forum on the New Space Economy (NSE), the event dedicated to science and dissemination scheduled at the Fiera di Roma from the 16 18 2024 December.
This year the GNS, which falls on December 16, celebrates the 60 years since the launch of the first Italian satellite, San Marco 1, which took place in Virginia (USA) from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility launch base.
The International Expo-Forum on NSE, organized by Fiera Roma in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency (ASI), is the event that since 2019 has annually brought together scientists, industrialists, stakeholders, students and enthusiasts for a three days dedicated to the challenges and prospects of the new space economy.
INGV will be present at the event again this year to offer visitors immersive experiences, live experiments and thematic seminars, telling how space culture is revolutionizing the study of geophysical phenomena, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and environmental phenomena.
INGV's participation in NSE 2024 is part of the activities organized by the Institute to celebrate its 25th anniversary and will be coordinated once again by the Center for Earth Space Observations (COS-INGV), Whose mission is to coordinate and plan the INGV activities in the space and aerospace sector.
At the INGV stand at the Fiera di Roma visitors will be able to:
→ live a unique experience with the little planet, a simulator capable of reproduce the spectacular polar auroras inside a dark room, to immerse yourself in the mysterious charm of the Earth's magnetic field;
→ discover innovative tools such as HERMES and PEGASO, devices that have flown in the stratosphere collecting scientific data from aerospace;
→ participate in interactive experiments with laboratory tools which show how satellite data is calibrated and analyzed;
→ deepen the importance of the study of volcanic clouds for air traffic and the environment, and observe cutting-edge techniques for monitoring sea levels and seismic and volcanic signals from space.
For the more curious, there will be no shortage educational games and interactive quizzes about space and its wondersThe program also includes seminars held by INGV researchers, such as “Space makes us less vulnerable” e “The Eyes of Radar on Earth”, which will illustrate the crucial role of space technologies in our daily lives.
All the dissemination material produced by INGV for NSE 2024 will be available to the public, in addition to the stand at Fiera di Roma, also on the COS-INGV website and on the INGV institutional portal.

2023 edition
From 5 to 7 December 2023, the European Expo-Forum on the New Space Economy (NSE), the annual event for space and aerospace research, returns to Fiera di Roma, with a special focus on the social impact of these applications ().
The INGV, National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, will once again be in the front row, contributing to the rich program of the event organized by the Amaldi Foundation, Fiera Roma, in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency (ASI).
The COS-INGV, Earth Space Observations Centre, will guide INGV's participation also in this new 2023 edition, coordinating the organisation's activities in the space and aerospace sector. The INGV stand will offer a unique opportunity for the public to interact with researchers, discovering how spatial culture can be applied to Geosciences to investigate earthquakes, volcanoes and the environment.
Through informative flyers, thematic videos, seminars and technical-scientific demonstrations, INGV researchers will present their research projects and services based on the analysis of spatial data and technological development.
2022 edition
2021 edition
EXPOFORUM ON NEW SPACE ECONOMY, December 9-11, 2021
2020 edition
With a second entirely digital edition, the international appointment with the European Expo-Forum on the New Space Economy (NSE, ). The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) will contribute to the event to stimulate new collaborations and highlight the already existing possibilities in the context of the "New Space Economy"
INGV's participation in the NSE will be coordinated by the Institute's new Earth Space Observations Center (COS-INGV), created with the aim of connecting and planning the organisation's activities in the space and aerospace sector, as well as to encourage the participation of researchers in the generation of services and products for society and external bodies.
2019 edition
The space activities carried out by INGV researchers will be presented to the public and sector operators as part of the New Space Economy Expo Forum, scheduled at the Rome Fair from 10 to 12 December 2019.
The NSE Expo Forum, organized in collaboration with Space Foundation, will provide an opportunity to meet and exchange views between existing and new industrial players, innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, investors, venture capitalists, start-ups, research centers, space agencies and institutions with interests in space.
