The program is based on three sessions, devoted respectively to history and memory, high energy astrophysics, and astroparticles.

Lectures will be given by Invited and Solicited speakers.
A Poster Session wil include further selected contributions.

The historical session will take place at the Villa Malfitano; the scientific sessions will be held in the premises of the Area della Ricerca, where the IASF-Palermo Institute is located.
