In the European strategy for ApP\, ASPERA has identified se ven crucial topics related to the most exciting questions about the Univer se.\n\n A key feature of the ApP projects is the deployment of research in frastructures in remote or hostile environments such as Polar regions\, ca ves\, deep seas\, deserts\, and space. Within and around these infrastruct ures\, exciting opportunities can be envisaged for new synergies with envi ronmental sciences and other associated sciences.\n\n Participants\n\n Sci entists active in collaborative research and agency representatives in cha rge of interdisciplinary programs (100 – 150 participants)\n\n The Goal\ n\n The goal of this workshop is to invite the scientific communities and the funding agencies to discuss how these synergies can be promoted and en couraged for the development of science and to the benefit of society\, at the image of the relation between nuclear and particle physics and medici ne since the middle of the 20th century.\n\n The Output\n\n The expected o utput of the workshop is twofold: \n\n -       Firstly\, to prepare a working document for the funding agencies and the ApP projects on the co llaborative research within these infrastructures.\n\n -       Secon dly\, to publicize the potential of the ApP infrastructures for collaborat ive research within the scientific community.\n\n Interdisciplinarity and astroparticle physics infrastructures\n\n It is common today for national government agencies to implement interdisciplinary programs and these cove r a large diversity of research activities. In the case of ApP infrastruct ure\, collaborative research with associated sciences is motivated by the: \n\n 1)     Access to remote or hostile environment in which the ApP i nfrastructures are operated. \n\n 2)      Competence in complex sensi ng systems\, such as particle detectors\, developed for these infrastructu res.\n\n 3)      Technologies allowing the process of large quantitie s of extremely pure and/or exotic materials.\n\n 4)     Systems for da ta acquisition\, processing\, and dissemination that are developed for the se projects.\n\n  \n\n Organisation Committee.\n\n -       Bernard Revaz            University of Geneva            \n\ n -       Thomas Berghöfer     BMBF\n\n -       Rachel Bo ning            STFC\n\n -       Maurice Bourquin       University of Geneva \n\n -      Hélène Demonfaucon   Nikhef\ n\n -       Hajer Graya                CEA\n\n -        Andreas Haungs         KIT\n\n -       Stavros Katsane vas    CNRS\n\n -       Alessandro Marini      INFN\n\n -        Arnaud Marsollier      CERN\, CNRS\n\n -       Bijan Sa ghai                CEA\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceD isplay.py?confId=109104 LOCATION:Palais de la découverte\, Paris Salle de conférences URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=109104 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The next generation projects in Deep Underground Laboratories DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110630T090000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110702T170000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130522T105440Z UID:indico-event-130734@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:\n ASPERA Workshop \n\n The next generation projects in Deep U nderground Laboratories \n \n Towards a common strategy and linking schem es \n \n Zaragoza & Canfranc\, Spain \n\n June 30 – July 2\, 2011\n Re gistration deadline: extended to June 26\, 2011 sharp \n\n  The European Roadmap on Astroparticle Physics\, released by ASPERA-ApPEC\, covers the future large scale projects in the next decade\, emphasising the need for strengthening the coordination of activities at European or even internati onal levels.\n \nThe Workshop is organised on the deep underground labora tories projects\, focusing on the following topics:\n  \n\n Properties of neutrinos\n \n Dark matter search\n \n Stability of protons\n \nThe relevant ongoing and especially forthcoming projects in the largest worldw ide underground laboratories will be presented and discussed\, in view of pinning down key points allowing to evolving towards a common strategy and relevant linking schemes.\n \nThe programme will comprise a series of in vited plenary talks\, a round table session and a visit to the Canfranc un derground lab.\nOrganisation Committee:\nThomas Berghoefer\nSusana Cebrià n\nHélène Demonfaucon\nEduardo Garcia\nHajer Graya\nStavros Katsanevas\n Javier Mena\nFabrice Piquemal\nBijan Saghai (co-chair)\nJosé Angel Villar (co-chair)\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=130734 LOCATION: URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=130734 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Guillermo Haro 2011 Workshop: Surveying the gamma-ray sky DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110705T150000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110715T010000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130522T105440Z UID:indico-event-147362@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=147362 LOCATION:Tonantzintla\, Puebla\, Mex URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=147362 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:International Symposium on Future Directions in UHECR Physics DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120213T130000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120216T170000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130522T105440Z UID:indico-event-152124@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:This Workshop is the follow-up of the Nagoya Symposium 2010Sco pe of the Workhop:\n Discuss the highlights and challenges of UHECR obser vations\n \n Prepare for a next-generation ground based giant detector\n \n Evaluate the complementarity of ground and space based observations\n \n Identify technological challenges and related R&D works\n\n\nhttp://in dico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=152124 LOCATION:CERN Main Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=152124 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:3rd ASPERA Technology Forum Industry meets Academia: Va cuum & Cryogenics DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120313T110000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120314T175000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130522T105440Z UID:indico-event-169352@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:\n \n\n \n Technological challenges in future large projects in astroparticle physics and neighboring fields\n European physicists in astroparticle physics as well as in neighboring fields are planning the ne xt generation of experiments to be built within the next decade.

Gravity as we know it\, c annot explain this\; not if visible matter is all there is to the Universe . Today\, particle physics might be on the verge of finally unraveling thi s mystery.\n\n Many physicists believe that the explanation for the behavi or and structure of galaxies lies in the infinitely small scales of subato mic particle physics. A new type of particle\, unlike any of the particles we know about\, which does not emit nor absorb light\, could be effective ly invisible to the astronomers' instruments\, yet make up most of the mas s of the Universe. The detection of this new particle would shake up our u nderstanding of the basics building blocks of the cosmos. The hunt for "Da rk Matter" is on.\n\n The Large Hadron Collider at CERN has begun testing some of the theories about Dark Matter. By colliding beams of particles at very high energy\, this machine will re-create conditions that existed a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. Scientists believe that in this p rocess Dark Matter particles will be produced. At the same time\, other ex periments (such as underground Dark Matter detector and satellites observi ng debris produced by Dark Matter collisions in the Universe) are being us ed to characterize the nature of Dark Matter\, and to test whether its pro perties can explain the astronomers' puzzling observations.\n\n This confe rence will bring together scientists looking for Dark Matter in particle p hysics\, astrophysics and cosmology\, in order to facilitate their collabo ration and promote the exchange of new ideas across the different communit ies. This stimulating meeting will promote the development of a new\, trul y global approach to the discovery and characterization of Dark Matter\, a nd help scientists to join forces in tackling one of the biggest unsolved mysteries of fundamental physics.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDispl ay.py?confId=180715 LOCATION:Ascona\, Switzerland URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=180715 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Implementing ApP Projects: Challenges and Solutions DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121018T123000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121019T120000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130522T105440Z UID:indico-event-199171@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:\n The “Magnificent Seven” Projects presented in the Roadm ap are in the process of being implemented\, although at different stages. Their success requires not only a major scientific and technical effort\, but also a careful management and an effective communication strategy. Pr ojects typically act in full autonomy one from another\, but they can exch ange experiences and future plans to their mutual advantage. They can also learn from other past and ongoing projects. Indeed\, they share a common goal: to have research in ApP make a step forward. The Workshop at Gran Sa sso is the occasion for all those bearing responsibilities in the implemen tation of the Roadmap projects to engage in a open-ended discussion that h opefully could increase everyone’s awareness\, improve everyone’s tool kit and perhaps even help develop synergies. The presentation of seven sam ple projects shall trigger the discussion\, which will concentrate on thre e core topics: governance\, including site-related issues and relations wi th hosting lab\; communication strategy\; fund raising and fund managing.\ n All those involved in the implementation of Roadmap projects\, including their respective spokespersons or Principal Investigators or others entru sted with managerial tasks\, as well as representatives of agencies/Instit utions\, are invited.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId =199171 LOCATION:Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=199171 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:First Topical Workshop for the HAP Dark Universe DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121118T160000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121123T120000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130522T105440Z UID:indico-event-202589@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:https://edelweiss.cloudant.com/dmworkshop/_design/app/index.ht ml\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=202589 LOCATION:Burg Liebenzell\, Bad Liebenzell URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=202589 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:ASPERA ad futurum DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121130T080000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121130T170000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130522T105440Z UID:indico-event-215856@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:\n Six and a half years since the beginning of ASPERA (Astropa rticle Physics ERANET)\, the European research landscape for Astroparticle Physics has greatly changed thanks to the efforts of scientists and fundi ng agencies who worked for and participated in the various activities orga nised in the context of the EU-funded projects ASPERA-1 and ASPERA-2.\n Th is adventure is now coming coming to an end.

Important programmatic moves in Asi a (Japan\, China\, India) and the Americas (US\, Chile\, Argentina) to hos t important infrastructures concerning particle and astroparticle physics on their soil.\n The workshop in the Amphithéâtre Marie Curie at the Hea dquarters of CNRS\, in Paris\, lasting two days will examine the results i n the different fields contributing to Astroparticle Physics as a prelimin ary to a discussion with high level scientists and agency officials from a round the world concerning the future of the field\, attempting to determ ine what are the remaining questions and how to tackle them in a globally coordinated way.\n\n The event is free to attend but registration is oblig atory. \n\n organised by: \n\n \n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDispl ay.py?confId=240400 LOCATION:Paris\, France Amphithéâtre Marie Curie URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=240400 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Underground Synergies with Astro-particle Physics: Multi-Disciplin ary Studies in the World’s Deep Underground Science Facilities DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20131007T180000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20131009T154500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130522T105440Z UID:indico-event-240399@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:\n \n\n An ASPERA-funded 2-day workshop reviewing current and future studies and opportunities in multi-discplinary deep underground sci ence. \n For decades astro-particle and particle physics experiments need ing an ultra-low background environment have been operated deep undergroun d where the rock overhead provides a shield against interference from cosm ic rays. The growth of astroparticle physics has resulted in small but gro wing number of deep underground science facilities in Europe and around th e world. In recent years in has become clear the special environments prov ided by these facilities is of interest to other areas of science\, beyond astro-particle physics to areas such as Earth and environmental sciences\ , geology\, geophysics\, climatology\, biology and astrobiology.\n This AS PERA workshop will showcase the synergies between underground astroparticl e physics infrastructures and the opportunities they provide to address a wide range of multi-disciplinary science challenges. The event will bring together scientists\, decision makers and industry to highlight and identi fy underground science synergies\; and address the scientific\, administra tive and funding challenges faced by multi-disciplinary scientists when tr ying to collaborate together and with industry.\n The workshop is being he ld in the historic city of Durham in the North East of the UK. Durham Univ ersity\, the UK’s Boulby Deep Underground Science Facility and the UK’ s Science and Technology Facilities Council are proud to be the local host s of the workshop. The Boulby Underground Science facility is 1.5 hours dr ive from Durham and although visits are not offered as part of the confere nce schedule (due to time restrictions) visits can be arranged by separate request. Speakers announced: please check the timetable!\n  \n\n organi sed by: \n and the Astroparticle Physics Underground Laboratories: \n      Boulby(UK)       Canfranc(SP)        Gran Sasso(IT)      Modane(FR)   \n\n  \n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?c onfId=240399 LOCATION:Durham\, UK Calman Learning Centre at Durham University URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=240399 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Applied Anti-neutrino Physics 2013 (AAP2013) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20131031T230000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20131102T090000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130522T105440Z UID:indico-event-245969@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:\n This year\, the 9th annual Applied Antineutrino Physics Wor kshop will be hosted by Sejong University\, at the COEX conference center in Seoul South Korea.\n\n The workshop will be held on November 1(Friday) - 2(Saturday)\, 2013. Conveniently for many travelers\, it takes place dir ectly after and at the same venue as the  2013 IEEE Nuclear Science Sympo sium (http://www.nss-mic.org/2013/NSSMain.asp) \n\n Applied Antineutrino Physics describes an ensemble of experimental and theoretical efforts whic h aim to use the antineutrino signal from nuclear reactors\, and from the Earth itself\, in order to address practical problems in nonproliferation and geology respectively. Since the 2004 inception of these workshops\, gr oups worldwide have made considerable advances in defining and expanding t he field\, garnering  interest from the International Atomic Energy Agenc y (IAEA)\, which administers the world's most important nonproliferation r egime\, and from the geology/geophysics community. \n\n This meeting will focus on the current activities and future directions in these areas\, in cluding reviews of ongoing experimental programs\, relevant theoretical de velopments in understanding of the reactor and geologic signal\, overlappi ng developments in fundamental physics experiments\, and a review of progr ess in gaining acceptance of this new tool from the nonproliferation and g eology communities. Areas of particular interest include progress on coher ent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering\, short baseline neutrino oscillat ion experiments and their overlap with reactor monitoring applications\, a nd global  progress on very large water Cerenkov and liquid scintillator antineutrino detectors for remote reactor monitoring. \n\n Yeongduk Kim\,  Adam Bernstein\, Michel  Cribier\, Thierry Lasserre \n\nhttp://indico .cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=245969 LOCATION:COEX Conference Center\, Room 300\, Seoul\, Korea URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=245969 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
