DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prof. ALLEN\, Bruce ()\nI'll first give you a lightn
 ing overview of the AEI. The Max-Planck Institute for Gravitational Physic
 s\, also known as the Albert Einstein Institute or AEI\, is the world's la
 rgest institute devoted to the study of gravitation.  The main focus in Ha
 nnover is the detection of gravitational waves.  These were first predicte
 d by Einstein about a century ago\; we hope to make the first direct detec
 tions with the LIGO/VIRGO and GEO instruments in the coming five years.  S
 earching for weak gravitational-wave signals in detector noise is a large-
 scale computing and data analysis problem\, hence the relevance of this AS
 PERA workshop.\n\nI'll then give you a lightning overview to ASPERA. ASPER
 A is a network of European national government agencies responsible for co
 ordinating and funding national research efforts in Astroparticle Physics.
  Within the ERA-NET scheme of the European Commission\, ASPERA started in 
 July 2006. After a first successful three-year period\, ASPERA\, as ASPERA
  2\,  is now continuing for another three-year programme towards the devel
 opment of a sustainable body for astroparticle physics in Europe. ASPERA 2
  is funded by the European Commission through the 7th Framework Programme.
