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
