27th Symposium on Astroparticle Physics in the Netherlands, 20/21 June 2023

20 Jun 2023, 09:00 → 21 Jun 2023, 17:00 Europe/Amsterdam

Manuela Vecchi (University of Groningen)

The 27th CAN Symposium will be held on June 20th/21th  in Soesterberg at the hotel Kontakt der Kontinenten. This is the annual meeting of the Dutch astroparticle physics community and it will be organized by the Committee of Astroparticle Physics in the Netherlands - CAN.

This symposium will feature one keynote speaker, Foteini Oikonomou, updates on the five pillar programs of the Dutch astroparticle physics strategy,  contributed talks, and an open floor for all new participants to introduce themselves and their ideas in short flash talks. 
 

There is no conference fee for this event, which is kindly funded by NIKHEF and the Dutch Astronomy Council. 

You can request your accommodation at the conference hotel during the registration process.
