The Institute will be present in the space dedicated to the Fiera Roma NSE event with its equipment in the multimedia exhibition path set up at the Ministry headquarters in Via Veneto to tell the story of the high technological content of its research activities
From the 26 June to the 14 July, at the headquarters of Ministry of Business and Made in Italy (MIMIT), the second session of the exhibition will be set up "Exposing innovation: the Made in Italy hub fairs", an initiative organized by the Italian Exhibitions and Fairs Association (AEFI) as part of its collaboration with MIMIT.
The exhibition will open on Thursday 26 June with a conference entitled “Where innovation is born today and how it is communicated: the contribution of Italian trade fairs”, which will be an opportunity to illustrate how innovation and trade fairs are an essential combination for promoting the ingenuity and creativity of Italian companies.
The aim of the exhibition is to tell, with a multimedia and immersive journey, the strategic role of Italian fairs as platforms for valorization of national excellence, engines of innovation and scientific research, capable of transforming knowledge into useful solutions for industry.
Among the events featured in the exhibition is New Space Economy (NSE), Fiera Roma's event dedicated to the space industry, in which the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) takes part every year. The 2025 edition of the event, created to connect business, technology, culture and innovation, will take place from 10 to 12 December in the Fiera Roma spaces.
As part of the exhibition at MIMIT, theINGV participate in the NSE exhibition space with two high-tech devices proposed by his Center for Earth Space Observations (INGV-COS) and developed within the scope of its own research activities.
The first, HERMES (HEmera Returning MESSenger), is a stratospheric platform equipped with an autonomous glider capable of physically transporting data and samples from the stratosphere to a ground recovery point. The glider is mounted on the balloon's payload via a remotely controlled release system and is connected to the main computer to store a copy of the scientific data and receive the geographic coordinates of the recovery point, with the goal of allowing researchers to obtain experimental data before the payload is recovered.
Il Cosmic Ray Cube is, instead, a compact, battery-powered muon detector capable of measuring the flux and direction of muons generated by cosmic rays. The easily transportable device uses technologies derived from particle physics and is used for the Non-invasive monitoring of the interior of volcanic structures, such as Vesuvius and Etna, contributing to the volcanological surveillance carried out by the INGV.
The participation of INGV in the AEFI exhibition represents aimportant opportunity to enhance the contribution of public scientific research to technological development and the international positioning of the Made in Italy in the field of innovation and Earth sciences, also expressing our country's ability to combine science, creativity and impact on the territory and highlighting how fairs are a valuable tool in this sense.
