  6. Elsewhere in Europe… • Italy: • 1987: Opening Gran Sasso Undergr. Lab. INFN – committee II(for APP) • 1995: Start construction Virgo GW Interf. Virgo Gran Sasso

  7. Elsewhere in Europe… • France: Survey on emergence of APP What was the research field of your PhD? APP HEP NP

  8. Elsewhere in Europe… • France: Survey on emergence of APP When did you start to work in Astroparticle Physics ? 1969 - 1979 APP > 2000 1980 - 1999

  9. Aspera Historical Study • The emergence of APP in EU • Bernard Revaz (Univ. of Geneva): • A new discipline? • Molecular biology (from chemistry & biology) • Nanoscience (from physics & chemistry) • APP (from physics and astronomy) ??? • Perspective from history of science • Case study: AMS satellite mission

  20. > What is ASPERA ? AStroparticle Physics European Coordination ERAnet >ASPERA is a European network of national government agencies responsible for coordinating and funding research in astroparticle physics. >ASPERA is funded by the European Commission at the level of 2.5 Million € over a three years period. It started in July 2006. >ASPERA arises from the existence of ApPEC (Astroparticle Physics European Coordination). 12 countries + CERN + Romania + Poland

  21. 4/20 > ASPERA objectives AStroparticle Physics European Coordination ERAnet • Compare funding systems for APP in Europe • Roadmap on infrastructures and R&D. • Identify formal and legal barriers to international APP projects • Explore further linking of existing astroparticle infrastructures • Launch common actions such as common call for R&D projects • Develop procedures for common funding of large infrastructures • Install a common information and outreach system.  IN2P3 / Olivier Blaise

  23. > Preparing Collaboration forms • But also: EU involvement outside Europe (Auger) • Multinational infrastructure (VIRGO, MAGIC, ANTARES,…) • National lab (Gran Sasso) hosting European experiments

  24. > ASPERA communication tools • www.aspera-eu.org • Newsletter: every month • Press releases • Exhibition available • Database of projects • Outreach: • www.astroparticle.org

  25. > Further activities • 17 + 18 July ’08, Nikhef, Amsterdam • R&D projects for APP & EU industry • 9 + 10 Oct. ’08, Brussels, Belgium • 3rd Roadmap workshop: final priorities • Other items: • Include computing & theory in roadmap • Coordination with ASTRONET • The role of CERN • Coordination with Space Programs • Include Dark Energy projects in roadmap  ESA

  26. ERA-NET+: • Successor Aspera  Joint Programming • Substantial (~10 M€) EU support in investment • Common call: • Joint projects through virtual common pot • Develop common evaluation procedures • Global coordination: • Involve DoE, NSF, China, Japan, India • 2009: workshop on global coordination > After Aspera…

  27. Perspectives • APP in the Netherlands: • Update Strategic Plan • Maintain high profile: Proposals, Appointments,.. • Data analysis has begun Lofar, Auger, Antares, Virgo,.. • Europe: • HeapNet:multimessenger…

  31. MEMO Aan: Leden van de Raad van Bestuur van de Stichting FOM Van: zie lijst van ondertekenaars1 Datum: 28 april 2004 Betreft: Astrodeeltjesfysica in Nederland CC: Stichting ASTRON, Gebiedsbestuur E van NWO Samenvatting: Op 26 april 2004 is er een symposium georganiseerd in Amsterdam over een zich snel ontwikkelend gebied op het grensvlak van de natuurkunde en de sterrenkunde: astrodeeltjesfysica. Nu gebleken is dat meer dan 95% van de kosmos niet bestaat uit gewone materie en de grenzen van het Standaard Model van deeltjes en velden in zicht komen, wordt het steeds duidelijker dat er zeer belangrijke doorbraken in dit nieuwe interdisciplinaire gebied verwacht mogen worden. Tijdens het symposium hebben astrofysici, deeltjesfysici en kernfysici vastgesteld dat er unieke mogelijkheden bestaan voor bijdragen van de Nederlandse fysica aan dit nieuwe interdisciplinaire vakgebied door deel te nemen aan de projecten KM3NeT en LOFAR. Om deze plannen te realiseren moet er nu een aantal stappen worden gezet door de Stichting FOM, die wij voorleggen aan de Raad van Bestuur van FOM: (i) in de definitieve versie van het Strategisch Plan van FOM/GBN 2004 – 2010 moet het grote belang van de astrodeeltjesfysica als nieuw interdisciplinair vakgebied onderkend worden; (ii) er moet gezocht worden naar wegen om financiële ruimte te creëren om dit nieuwe vakgebied op de grens van de sterrenkunde en de natuurkunde van de grond te krijgen; (iii) er moet een commissie ingesteld worden van astronomen, deeltjesfysici en kernfysici om een uitgewerkt plan op te stellen voor de vorming van dit nieuwe vakgebied binnen NWO.
