Astroparticle physics - strong points
 New field @ astronomy/particle physics interface
 Cutting edge infrastructures built & forthcoming
 High risk - high impact
 International activity
 Appeals to students & general public
 NL: funding starting to flow (FOM, NOVA, )
 UvA/Amsterdam:



World-renowned theoretical physics group
Excellent astronomy & particle physics groups (Nikhef)
Excellent (grid) computing infrastructure
Create more synergy between IAP-IHEF-ITFA
