  Astroparticle physics has evolved as an interdisciplinary field at the
intersection of particle physics, astronomy and cosmology. Over the last two
decades, it has moved from infancy to technological maturity and is now
envisaging projects on the 100 Million Euro scale. This price tag requires
international coordination, cooperation and convergence to a few flagship
projects. The Roadmap Committee of ApPEC (Astroparticle Physics European
Coordination) has recently released a roadmap covering the next ten years. This
talk describes status and perspectives of astroparticle physics in Europe and
reports the recommendations of the Roadmap Committee.
