European Summer University

European Summer Universities were proposed by the French Minister of Education in 2000 to develop the pan-European University space for undergraduate students and university staff. Mobility, not only of scientists but also of students, plays an increasingly important role in research, industry and the academic domain. The fifth "European Summer University". in 2006 is organised by the Physics Department of the Louis Pasteur University in Strasbourg in collaboration with the Astronomical Observatory of Strasbourg and the Institute for Experimental Nuclear Physics (IEKP) of the Technical University of Karlsruhe, on the subject "Particles and the Universe", which will address particle physics, high-energy astrophysics and cosmology.
