In the very last years the intersections of particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology have grown wider and complex, establishing the field of Astro and Particle Physics as a rapidly growing young interdisciplinary field. We intend to advance this new interdisciplinary field in an unprecedented way establishing the Kepler Center for Astro and Particle Physics at the Eberhard Karls University Tübingen. With the creation of the Kepler Center we have the opportunity to combine and coordinate the unique collection of expertise present in the University of Tübingen in a network effort that will closely link astronomy and particle physics building an integrated environment for research and education.
