Scientific Programme

The 3rd Joint ILIAS-CERN-DESY Axion-WIMPs training-workshop
was held at the University of Patras / Greece on 19-25 June 2007.

The program of this first joint meeting included lectures on axions and WIMPs as well as presentations with recent results from this field of astroparticle physics.

For a summary see the conclusions by J. Jaeckel.
