Abstract:
Euclid is the next ESA mission devoted to Cosmology. The mission is 
expected to be launched at the end of year 2021 and to last six years. 
Recently it has successfully passed the Critical Design Review for 
instruments and spacecraft. Italian participation is funded by ASI and 
science institutes (INAF, INFN, several Universities). The main 
scientific aim of the mission is the study of Dark Energy and Dark 
Matter. These will be complementarily studied  via two independent main 
probes: gravitational lensing and clustering. We will review the 
scientific problem, the main probes and related methods, the mission 
characteristics.
