1. 1  Goal of ILIAS  Activities of ILIAS, running  Status, 3rd y highlights  “ILIAS next”  Links with others - HEAPNet Integrated Large Infrastructures for Astroparticle Science Gilles Gerbier CEA Saclay http://ilias.in2p3.fr/

2. 2 Goal “ILIAS is an Integrated Infrastructure Initiative that has pulled together all of Europe’s leading infrastructures in Astroparticle Physics to produce a focused, coherent and integrated project to improve the existing infrastructures and their operation as well as to organise and structure the scientific community to prepare the best infrastructures for the future.”
