Title: Proton decay and beyond

Abstract: An overview of the LAGUNA project that brings together efforts towards construction of a massive
underground detector in Europe.  Such a detector would have a very rich physics programme covering
proton decay, neutrino astrophysics, geo-neutrinos etc.  This is set in the context of recent
technological advances, such as demonstrated by Borexino, and the growing interest and investment
in underground facilities in Europe.
