AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoEducation Watch: OECD PISA 2025 shows record lows across reading and maths, with average reading down 28 points since 2015 and maths down 22—about a year and a half of learning lost, while science stays comparatively steadier. Robotics & Manufacturing: Vilnius-based LITILIT says advances in robotics are making femtosecond laser tools practical for precision work in electronics, semiconductors and medicine, with laser size still the key limiter. Space: ESA (for Greece) signed an agreement with Vast for the Vast-PAM-1 mission to the ISS, aiming to send Greece’s first crewed astronaut, pending panel review. Cybersecurity: Lithuanian operator Cgates is launching network-level “Internet Protection” to block phishing, malware, fraudulent sites and tracking without installs. Tech Policy & Mobility: Slovenia cleared Tesla Full Self-Driving (Supervised) on public roads, but the EU-wide path depends on a sealed Dutch safety file and a looming vote. Global Cartography: The UN backed “Correct the Map” to encourage equal-area projections that better reflect Africa’s size; the US was the lone no, while Lithuania abstained.
