29th Symposium on Astroparticle Physics in the Netherlands, 12/13 June 2025

12 Jun 2025, 09:00 → 13 Jun 2025, 14:10 Europe/Amsterdam

The 29th CAN Symposium will be held on June 12th/13th 2025 in Soesterberg at the hotel Kontakt der Kontinenten. This is the annual meeting of the  Dutch astroparticle physics community 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.

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

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

The registration is open til 10th of May.
