Sumario:In this paper I want to discuss the status of Astroparticle Physics at the beginning of the Large Hadronic Collider (LHC) Era. Astroparticle physics - the new branch of physics born roughly at the end of the 1980-ies is now in its golden age - takes into account results obtained from the observations of cosmic sources via photonic experiments and particle experiments as well as from the difficult observations of neutrinos. The goal of this new branch of science is to detect the global behaviour of cosmic sources in order to understand the subtended physical processes. All this for a better knowledge of the physics governing the whole Universe. I will try to remark those hot points which will be discussed in more details during this workshop. Of course, this paper cannot be exhaustive because of a limited number of pagers available. Therefore, I will discuss only a selection of arguments, which are biased by my knowledge.
