EP 12.1: Invited Talk

Thursday, March 29, 2007, 11:30–12:00, H46

Initiative for Basic Research in Space — •Gregor Morfill — Max-Planck-Institut für extraterrestrische Physik, Giessenbachstrasse 85748 Garching

A brief summary of the most interesting fundamental physics topics is presented that could benefit significantly from research conducted in space (or that could only be carried out in space). These topics are sufficiently broad and important that the Community of Physicists may feel it necessary and opportune to start an initiative designed to identify and define a new programme of excellence in research in space. The talk finishes with a step-by-step plan how to proceed with such an initiative following an appropriate call for action and mandate by DPG.
