			European FP7 proposal on 
Integrated Activities for the High-Energy Astrophysics Domain (AHEAD)
______________________________________________________________________


There is an emergent need to coordinate efforts in high-energy
astrophysics at the European level. In January 2008, an adhoc Steering
Committee (SC), composed of several members of the high-energy
astrophysics community, was formed to discuss the opportunity for a
European Framework Programme 7 proposal entitled Integrated Activities
for the High-Energy Astrophysics Domain (AHEAD). This proposal will be
submitted as a response to the Spring 2010 call for bottom-up integrated
activities, in the frame of the FP7 Capacities Work Programme for
support to existing research infrastructures. To ensure that the needs
of the high-energy astrophysics community are adequately represented, 
the SC invites the community to respond massively to the present Call
and to participate in the preparation and the definition of the
proposal.
