CASSATA consortium partners gathered in the beautiful city of Thessaloniki, Greece, for the project’s General Assembly Meeting and Technical Workshop, hosted by CERTH on 18-19 June 2026.

With the project now only a few months before its completion, partners from across Europe came together to review the progress achieved so far, align on the remaining activities and coordinate the next steps towards the final phase of the project.

The meeting opened on 18 June with presentations covering the project’s overall progress, technical management, validation planning, legal, security and ethics aspects, as well as dissemination and exploitation activities. Partners also discussed progress and next steps across CASSATA’s main technical areas, including optronics for covert sensing, acoustic/seismic sensing, RF and radar systems, and adaptive and collaborative sensing, data processing, fusion, AI and sensor management.

On the second day, a dedicated technical workshop focused on the preparation and requirements of the Global Demonstrator, enabling focused discussions, technical alignment and deeper collaboration among partners.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the importance of close cooperation, technical coordination and shared expertise as CASSATA enters its final months and moves towards its final project outcomes. Many thanks to CERTH for the excellent hosting and to all consortium partners for their active engagement, constructive discussions and continued collaboration.
