Vor gut hundert Jahren, im Anschluss an die Feiern zum 200. Geburtstag Leonhard Eulers im Jahre 1907, beschloss die Schweizerische Naturforschende Gesellschaft (SNG), dessen sämtliche Werke herauszugeben. Heute liegt die Herausgabe der Werke und Briefe von Leonhard Euler in den Händen der Euler-Kommission der SCNAT.

The College of Helvetic Astronomy Professors CHAPS reviewed their current activities and future ambitions in order to develop a coherent vision of astrophysics in Switzerland

In coordination with the schedule of COSPAR assemblies the Swiss National Committee on Space Research CSR biennially compiles an overview of space-related national activities.

In May 2003, the Swiss Particle Physics Forum commissioned a study of the status and outlook of particle physics research and education in Switzerland. This publication is the Report of the Working Group appointed to make that study.
The Forum was replaced by a Swiss Institute for Particle Physics (CHIPP) in October 2003. The CHIPP Board endorsed this report in February 2004.

APPEC strongly supports and encourages the prospects of an even stronger synergy between Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology with Particle Physics. Areas of synergy between the above domains are identified: dark matter and dark energy; multi-messenger astrophysics, with the recently achieved discoveries of gravitational waves and the extraordinary opportunities also offered by gamma-ray and neutrino observatories for the exploration of powerful accelerators of the universe; the current neutrino precision program in relationship with cosmology, that promise either an unprecedented confirmation of the two standard models of Particle Physics and Cosmology, or a gate to new physics beyond both. These synergies include R&D on photosensors, cryogenic and vacuum techniques, optimisation of large scale infrastructures (civil infrastructure, vacuum, cryogenics) and of their governance and long-term operation, computing strategies for analysis and handling of large volumes of data, and policies leading to open science. Their development also requires grounding fundamental science within society, including, outreach and education. In view of the above synergies the present document introduces and briefly discusses four recommendations related to the role of PP in i) the dark matter searches; ii) the multi-messenger astronomy,in particular the 3G GW experiments (ET); iii) the neutrino physics; iv) the creation of a European Center for AstroParticle Theory (EuCAPT).

Cet automne aura lieu le premier con- cours de Science on Stage Switzerland qui permettra la sélection des cinq re- présentant-e-s suisses individuels ou en binôme qui participeront au concours européen de 2015. Le concours est pu- blic et aura lieu le 15 novembre 2014, dès 9 h 30, au Technorama de Winterthour.
