IntroductionIntroduction
The context: the EC is seeking to promote better coordination (compared to the US, e.g.), less segmentation in the research area. The 90% of research funding comes from national agencies.
In USA 90% federal, 10% state
Now the convergence of national agencies on certain specific infrastructures is a prerequisite on EU funding, e.g in the ESFRI procedure

ApPEC ApPEC (Astroparticle Physics European Co-ordination)(Astroparticle Physics European Co-ordination)
ApPEC is a tool to make science happen, in the European context
ApPEC aims:– To promote and facilitate co-operation within the
growing European Particle Astrophysics community and between national funding agencies
– To assist in improving links and co-ordination with the scientific programmes of organisations such as CERN, ESA, and ESO and the EC
4
ApPEC (Astroparticle Physics European Co-ordination)ApPEC (Astroparticle Physics European Co-ordination)
ApPEC membership– At the outset (2001) it comprised the national
funding agencies of France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the UK.
– Since then Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Greece, and Switzerland have joined
– Recently Poland has expressed interest in joining.– Aims to Continue to extend EU and Non-EU in
Europe – Eligibility: Funding Agencies (decision making
body, having a national coordinating role)
5
New Research Infrastructures in EuropeNew Research Infrastructures in EuropeESFRIEuropean Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures
was set-up following a recommendation of the EU Council
Its main scope is: to support a coherent and strategy-led approach to
policy-making on research infrastructures in Europe; to facilitate multilateral initiatives leading to the better
use and development of research infrastructures.
6
The Strategy Forum gives national authorities the opportunity to be informed of and to explore (i.e. without "a priori" commitments) international and national initiatives concerning the building or upgrading of research infrastructures of European significance.
ESFRI to prepare roadmap for future Research Infrastructures in Europe
The Roadmap identifies new Research Infrastructure of pan-European interest (or major upgrades)
covers all scientific areas, regardless of possible location (i.e. outside of EU)
The ESFRI roadmap is an on-going process, periodically updated.

European Roadmap for Research InfrastructuresEuropean Roadmap for Research Infrastructures
The first roadmap is expected in a few weeks (Autumn 2006).
ApPEC to raise awareness of country delegations to astroparticle physics relevant projects (Switzerland: Zinsli)
Likely candidates in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Astroparticle physics:
ELT (Optical-infrared Telescope), SKA (radiotelescope), KM3Net (neutrino telescope),
Third Generation Gravitationnal Wave Observatory, CTA ( advanced facility for ground-based high-energy gamma ray astronomy), EUREKA (dark matter)
8
Achievements of ApPECAchievements of ApPEC
APPEC’s most recent success are: – The European strategy for particle physics:
• ‘CERN Council will seek to work with ApPEC to develop a coordinated strategy in areas of mutual interest’ (non-accelerator experiments at the overlap between particle and astroparticle physics)
– The ERANET program ASPERA: EU funds for furthering inter-agency coordination
9
ASPERA and ApPECASPERA and ApPEC
ASPERA will allow ApPEC to realize its aims in large measure will enable the funding agencies and the wider academic community to understand the context in which we do business, co-operate and plan the future for Astroparticle Physics.
ASPERA should not be seen as a new ASPERA should not be seen as a new committee but as a work program committee but as a work program

What is the AstroParticle ERA net (ASPERA)?What is the AstroParticle ERA net (ASPERA)?
An EU ERANET program with
– 17 partners from 12 countries and CERN, CNRS (S.Katsanevas) coordinator, ambition to cover all countries with astroparticle activities in Europe
– EU budget 2.5 M€ for 3 years (1 July 2006 to 1 July 2009) used for 33 meetings, 10 new liaison officers , 26 deliverables, 5 milestones.

Astroparticle Physics, a definition through 6 questions*Astroparticle Physics, a definition through 6 questions*
1. What is the Universe made of ?2. Do protons have a finite life time ?3. What are the properties of neutrinos ? What is their role
in cosmic evolution ?4. What do neutrinos tell us about the interior of Sun and
Earth, and about Supernova explosions ?5. What is the origin of cosmic rays ? What is the view of
the sky at extreme energies ?6. What is the nature of gravity ? Can we detect
gravitational waves ? What will they tell us about violent cosmic processes ?

ApPEC, ASPERA and SwitzerlandApPEC, ASPERA and Switzerland
Switzerland is a full partner of ApPEC (MB represents CHIPP in ApPEC Steering Committee, AR is a member of the Roadmap working group)
Switzerland is a full partner in ASPERA (MB represents SNF, which expects CHIPP to carry out all activities through the SNF representative proposed by CHIPP). Budget: 160 KEuros for 3 years
The Swiss representative informs and consults CHIPP (i.e. Universities and PSI), SNF (a contract following EC and University rules to be implemented) and SER (deputy director Zinsli, J.-P. Ruder)
26
ApPEC, ASPERA and SwitzerlandApPEC, ASPERA and Switzerland Work on WP 1 to 4 has started, MB to hire
collaborator to assist participate in workshops and to lead study on the emergence of astroparticle physics as a new discipline
Roadmap leading to action plan to be steered by ASPERA. First public meeting November 7-8 in Valencia, Spain
A ‘Swiss national open day’ on astroparticle physics will be organized in January 2008 (c.f. RECFA, to raise awareness of national policy makers)
