Cosmic rays are important in disciplines often very distant among them, ranging from the search for cosmological antimatter to particle astronomy, from the study of the fundamental laws of physics at energies unattainable on Earth, to the biological effects they have on astronauts in space. The International Space Station is an unique and ideal place to perform experiments addressing frontier research in these fields.

This event is organized in the framework of the "Italy in Japan Autumn 2009" activities.
