(Astro)particle physics is a highly dynamic and awe-inspiring subject. The dimensions, timescales and numbers are either extremely large or incredibly small. The Large Hadron Collider has scarcely been commissioned and yet its successor is already being designed. Particle physics and astronomy can look forward to a fruitful partnership!

We certainly do not want the press and the public to miss those exciting moments. You can find all of our press releases in the archive and the latest news in the right column of this website. Material such as photos and animations are also available.
