In the development of Fundamental Physics on one side, and of
Astronomy/Cosmology on the other side, periods of parallell,
relatively independent progress seem to alternate with others of
intense interaction and mutual influence. To this latter case
belong the very beginnings of Modern Physics, with Galileo and
Newton. There is now a widespread feeling that another of such
flourishing periods may have started some ten years ago, with the
advent of Unified Theories and the introduction of Inflationary
Cosmologies. The interaction between the two disciplines has become
tighter ever since, spurring studies of e. g. astronomical and
particle Dark Matter candidates, Superstrings and Cosmic Strings,
phase transitions in the Early Universe, etc. etc. Then the recent
birth of Neutrino Astronomy has added further flavor to this
splendid conjunction. It was indeed with the clear perception of
this trend that six years ago CERN and ESO decided to jointly
organize a series of symposia focusing on the interactions between
Astronomy, Cosmology, and Fundamental Physics, to be held about
every two years. The aim of these meetings is to bring together
astronomers, cosmologists, and particle physicists to exchange
information, to discuss scientific issues of common interest, and
to take note of the latest devolopments in each discipline that are
relevant to the other. The First ESO-CERN Symposium was held at
CERN (Geneva) on November 21-25, 1983. Then for its Second edition
the ESO-CERN Symposium moved to Garching bei Miinchen, where ESO
headquarters are located, and took place on March 17-21, 1986.
