22nd Symposium for Astroparticle Physics in the Netherlands

30 Mar 2017, 08:00 → 31 Mar 2017, 18:00 Europe/Amsterdam

Hotel Bergse Bossen

The annual meeting of the Dutch astroparticle physics community will be held this year as a two-day symposium on March 30st/31st 2017 at the Hotel Bergse Bossen (Driebergen-Zeist). This will be the 22nd 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.

Titles for contributions should be sent to Dorothea Samtleben (dosamt at nikhef.nl).

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