During the meeting, the winners of the Giorgos Androulakis Prize were announced, recognising extraordinary dedication to the KM3NeT project:
๐
Early Career Scientists: Alfonso Garcia Soto & Lizeth Morales Gallegos
๐
Technicians & Engineers: Irene Sgura & Alexander Enzenhรถfer
We were also delighted to welcome two new observer institutes: Ruhr-Universitรคt Bochum and the University of Turku.
02.02.2026 10:05 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0We met last week in the historic heart of Valencia for the first Collaboration Meeting of 2026.
Researchers came together to discuss the latest results from the ARCA and ORCA detectors, plan upcoming sea campaigns, and share progress on different analyses.
The #EU funded #KM3NeT INFRADEV2 project came to an end on 31 December 2025.
During three years it provided strong support towards the full implementation of the KM3NeT Research Infrastructure.

In case you have a Christmas tree at home, and it feels like something is missing... Or in case you'd like to have a nice #science keychain:
Why not 3D print your own #KM3NeT module and decorate it with coloured ยฎLEGO pins as PMTs!

A new #KM3NeT laboratory, INTEGRA (INTEGration & Research Area), is inaugurated today in Salerno!
It is dedicated to assemble and test KM3NeT Optical Modules to speed up even more the growth of our #neutrino detector๐
Made possible by: #UniversityOfSalerno #INFN #KM3NeT4RR #PNRR #NextGenerationEU
Building trust in science and ensuring that research drives inclusive, evidence-based transformation are key to achieving a peaceful and equitable future.

๐๏ธ 10 November - World Science Day for Peace and Development 2025
Today highlights the essential role of science in addressing global challenges: from climate change and public health to sustainable energy and digital innovation.
Other than local organizers VEGA people participated in TeVPA presenting the latest result of multiple @km3net.bsky.social analyses

With the #NWO money @nikhef.bsky.social received for #KM3NeT we can bring this dream a step closer.
In addition we received funding for a prototype of an acoustic neutrino detector extension of KM3NeT!

We had a new successful sea campaign:
1) We reconnected 4 lines previously installed and tested on node 1 to the newly deployed node 2
2) We deployed and connected 5 new lines to node 2
Big thanks to everyone involved for this great step!
