APPEC Town Meeting Geneva 2026
The AstroParticle Physics European Consortium is pleased to invite you to participate in the Town Meeting dedicated to the preparation of the European Astroparticle Physics Strategy 2027–2036:

The meeting will take place in person in Geneva, Switzerland, on 2–3 September 2026.
As part of the roadmap development process, a community-wide survey was conducted in 2024 within the astroparticle physics community, followed more recently by a second survey across European astroparticle physics collaborations. Drawing on these valuable inputs, the APPEC Scientific Advisory Committee is preparing a draft Roadmap addressing all strategic themes identified in the surveys, with a preliminary version expected in summer 2026.
This Town Meeting will provide an opportunity to examine each scientific topic in depth, considering both the European and the broader international context. We will discuss recent advances in astroparticle physics and neighbouring disciplines, as well as developments in the research infrastructures landscape — all of which will contribute to shaping the strategic recommendations for the coming decade.
Over the course of two days, the programme will combine plenary presentations with focused round-table discussions. This format is designed to foster broad community engagement and to ensure that participants play a central role in defining the future strategic directions of astroparticle physics in Europe.
The discussions and conclusions from this Town Meeting will serve as the community input to the European Astroparticle Physics Strategy 2027–2036.
Registrations will open in the coming weeks.
