The RICAP Conferences are a series of International Conferences entirely dedicated to the study of high energy cosmic rays. The Conferences are organized by the A.R.A.P. association (Associazione Romana AstroParticelle) and by the three public Universities of Roma and INFN sections: University and INFN of Roma "Sapienza", University and INFN of Roma "Tor Vergata" and University and INFN of "Roma Tre".
In these institutions there is an intense activity on Astro-Particle physics, visible both in the participation to major experimental projects in the field (AGILE, AMS, ANTARES, ARGO, Auger, GLAST, NEMO, PAMELA, ...) and in a deep and fruitful theoretical speculation.
The RICAP Conference will be held every two years. The first edition was held at the University of Roma "Sapienza" in 2007, the second one has been held this year at the University of Roma "Tor Vergata" and the third one will be held in 2011 at the "Roma Tre" University.
