The European geodetic VLBI network has been operating for 11 years and has demonstrated that space geodesy techniques now represent a powerful tool for understanding present-day geodynamics. In the last years research has been stressed on the improvement of accuracy and precision of VLBI observations and analysis in particular regarding the height component. In this paper we confront the results of both Italian CNR-2000 and Swedish OSO-2000 solutions with geological and geophysical data over Europe. In particular we focus on post-glacial rebound phenomena in northern Europe and on the present-day geodynamic evolution of the central Mediterranean domain. Whereas for horizontal motions there is a good agreement between the different methods and techniques, for vertical movements the space geodetic results show some discrepancies w.r.t. geological data and geophysical models.
