The International Cosmic Ray Conference, or ICRC, is a physics conference organized biennially by the Commission C4 (Cosmic Rays) of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) since 1947, where physicists from the whole world present the results of their research in Astroparticle Physics. The main topics of Astroparticle Physics are
- Cosmic Ray Physics,
- Gamma-Ray Astronomy,
- Neutrino Astronomy,
- Dark Matter Physics,
- Solar and Heliospheric Physics,
- Astroparticle Physics Theory and Models and
- Experimental Methods, Techniques and Instrumentation.
Proceedings are published for each conference. The NASA's Astrophysics Data System (ADS) has started to gather these proceedings in order to scan them and publish them online on the ADS webserver (see external links).

Famous quotes containing the words cosmic, ray and/or conference:
“A cosmic philosophy is not constructed to fit a man; a cosmic philosophy is constructed to fit a cosmos. A man can no more possess a private religion than he can possess a private sun and moon.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“A small voice issued from a bed placed in utter darkness where no ray of light was admitted, complaining of bad nerves, low spirits, and terrible dreams.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“The peace conference must not adjourn without the establishment of some ordered system of international government, backed by power enough to give authority to its decrees. ... Unless a league something like this results at our peace conference, we shall merely drop back into armed hostility and international anarchy. The war will have been fought in vain ...”
—Virginia Crocheron Gildersleeve (1877–1965)
