Summary: The 2002 International Symposium on Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics (CosPA2002) was held from May 31 to June 2, 2002, in Taipei, Taiwan. The topics covered during the symposium included: (1) CMB physics: SZ surveys, polarizations, large-scale structures, gravitational lensing, and data analysis; (2) Dark energy and dark matter: dark matter physics, quintessence and the cosmological constant; (3) Cosmology of ultra high energy cosmic rays; (4) Inflation and new physics: inflation, noncommutative geometry, branes and extra dimensions.
