Aspera European Astroparticle network
- Aspera European Astroparticle network
ASPERA (or AStroParticle European Research Area) is a network of national government agencies responsible for coordinating and funding national research efforts in Astroparticle Physics.
ASPERA started in July 2006 and is funded by the European Commission over a three year period.
It comprises the following agencies: FNRS(Belgium), FWO(Belgium), MEYS(Czech Republic), CEA(France), CNRS(France), BMBF(Germany), PTDESY(Germany), DEMOKRITOS(Greece), INFN(Italy), FOM(Netherlands), FCT(Portugal), FECYT(Spain), MEC(Spain), SNF(Sweden), VR(Sweden), STFC(United Kingdom) and the European organization CERN.
ASPERA has come about through the existence of ApPEC which was founded in 2001 when six European scientific agencies took the initiative to coordinate and encourage Astroparticle Physics in Europe.
