The Conference will take place from 27 August until 02 September 2023 in Velden, Austria. The first World Conference was organized in Switzerland in 1965. This proved to be an inspiration to form national IFYE committees in several European countries. The first programs that involved Eastern European countries took place in 1992 between Finland and Estonia and Luxembourg and Estonia. These programs were followed by programs involving Latvia, Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary in 1993 and 1994. Earlier Poland and former Czechoslovakia had been involved in the program.
The XVIII International Conference on Topics in Astroparticle and Underground Physics (TAUP) is organized by the Institute of High Energy Physics (HEPHY) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, along with several other universities. The conference focuses on recent developments in astroparticle physics through plenary review talks and parallel workshop sessions.
