DESCRIPTION:\n	 Registration is closed\n	 \n\n	 \n\n	Workshop: \n\n	The
  Synergies between Environmental Sciences and Astroparticle Physics\n\n	 
 \n\n	Introduction\n\n	ASPERA is a network of European national government 
 agencies aimed at coordinating national research efforts in Astroparticle 
 Physics (ApP). 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
