  "Detectors: state-of-the-art, challenges, trends"
  

  Progress in fundamental and applied science depends crucially on sophisticated detector instrumentation. Unfortunately, the realization of complex detector systems is not always straightforward. In this talk I will present a number of successful detectors in particle physics, astroparticle physics, heavy ion physics and photon science. I will discuss key challenges of future detectors and how these may be met by proper use of modern technologies, novel concepts and adequate system design.
