The 1st Anniversary Symposium and Collaboration Meeting of the Cosmic-Ray Extremely Distributed Observatory (CREDO) collaboration will be held at the Institute of Nuclear Physics PAN, Krakow, Poland on 30th and 31th August, 2017. The conference is dedicated to ensembles of cosmic rays: yet unseen messengers of the Universe. The Anniversary Symposium (30th August) is open to everybody, while the Collaboration Meeting (31st August) is dedicated to those who already contribute or are considering directly contributing to CREDO. To attend the Collaboration Meeting you are invited to join the CREDO Collaboration by subscribing to the general mailing list (link available through the organizers) by 31th August 2017.

In the Remote participation section you can find information how to take part in the conference if you can not come in person.
