23rd Symposium on Astroparticle Physics in the Netherlands, 22/23 March 2018, Driebergen

22 Mar 2018, 08:00 → 23 Mar 2018, 18:00 Europe/Amsterdam

The annual meeting of the Dutch astroparticle physics community will be held this year as a two-day symposium on March 22/23 2018 at the Hotel Bergse Bossen (Driebergen-Zeist). This will be the 23rd symposium of a series which started in the year 2004. The meetings are organized by the Committee of Astroparticle Physics in the Netherlands - CAN. The idea of these symposia is to form a strong astroparticle physics community in the Netherlands. The symposia give a platform to (PhD) students and postdoctoral researchers to present their recent results to a nation-wide audience and to establish new scientific contacts beyond the own working group. It is also a tradition to have international keynote speakers, reviewing important aspects of astroparticle physics.

Contributions can be suggested with the registration.

This meeting will be free of charge thanks to the generous support of NWO-WARP, Nikhef and NOVA.
