Surrounded by stunning Algarve landscapes not far from where Henry the Navigator organized the voyages that mapped the Earth, particle astrophysicists discussed new initiatives to explore the cosmos. While first generation experiments opened new voyages of the mind with evidence for neutrino mass and a cosmological constant, much of the discussion focussed on novel experimental assaults on the secrets of the Universe. While "big-time" particle physics entered space with AMS and high energy neutrino telescopes saw first light, neutrinos actually, at Lake Baikal and South Pole, it is the hope that new and even more ambitious experimental initiatives, ranging from gravitational wave detectors to the MAP and Planck microwave satellite-borne detectors, will boost particle astrophysics into "the" physics and astronomy of the next millennium.
