Here is some motivation to this attempt: Here in Yachay Tech, a new research-oriented university in Ecuador, we are trying to construct the activities of astroparticle physics in wide sense. For the university and for a general job advertizement please visit http://inspirehep.net/record/1452767 As you know, in South America, various experimental activities on cosmology and astroparticle physics are going on. They include ALMA telescope, Pierre Auger highest energy cosmic ray array, and even further down to the south, IceCube which discovered neutrinos from outside our galaxy. Furthermore in Chile, an International gamma ray telescope, CTA, is to be constructed. Ecuador is located in mid between these observatories and United States/Europe. providing a comfortable base to these experimental activities while having good commutation with advanced institutions in the northern hemisphere. To facilitate construction of such activities in Yachay Tech, we are trying to organize a 3 days workshop “Astroparticle physics@Yachay”. At this stage the number of confirmed speakers are limited but about dozen people already confirmed their attendance with presentation. Aya Ishihara from Japan will give an overview talk on astrophysical neutrinos from experimental aspects. Please visit https://astrophysicsecuador.wordpress.com/ for more details of the workshop. (We are still waiting for speakers from Fermi, Auger, TA, SK, LIGO, and dark matter search experiments.) Dates: December 6-8, 2016 December 6: sessions in Quito (in the evening we will join to Quito Festival^*). December 7 and 8: sessions in Yachay Tech (transportation to Yachay campus will be done in the morning of 7) ^* Google "Quito Festival" About Quito, the capital of Ecuador, please visit https://ecuador.travel/destination/andes/quito/ Thank you in advance for your kind consideration.
