These proceedings will contain both general reviews on particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology and detailed discussions on some specific topics. Particular emphasis is put on: (i) physics and instrumentation in solar neutrino experiments (Chlorine, SAGE, GALLEX, SNO, Borexino, Iodine); (ii) present status and prospects of underwater and Antarctic experiments (Baikal, DUMAND, AMANDA, Nestor/SADCO, NEVOD); (iii) cosmic rays and cosmic ray neutrinos (high energy muons underground, atmospheric neutrinos, supernovae neutrinos); (iv) experiments on neutrino masses and mixings; (v) searches for dark matter and double beta decay.

This volume includes general reviews of recent developments in particle physics, cosmology, solar neutrinos, selected topics in astroparticle theory, new methods and projects in underground physics (such as gallium-germanium solar neutrino detector SAGE, Underground Scintillation Telescope, and EAS array “Carpet”), dark matter and double beta decay searches.
