Five European countries have pledged to collaborate on research into
astroparticle physics. The Astro-Particle Physics European Coordination
(APPEC) network was formed on 2 May in Paris. Its goals include promoting
European collaboration in research areas such as high-energy cosmic rays,
neutrino physics and dark matter; and improving links between international
organizations such as CERN, the European Southern Observatory and the
European Space Agency. APPEC’s partners include research councils and
organizations in Germany, France, Italy, Holland and the UK.
On the
same theme, a major meeting on Astronomy, Cosmology and Fundamental
Physics will be held in Garching, Germany, on 4-7 March 2002. An initial
announcement will appear in the September issue.
