  The third conference on particle physics beyond the Standard Model (BEYOND
THE DESERT'02 - Accelerator, Non-accelerator and Space Approaches) was held
during 2--7 June, 2002 at the Finish town of Oulu, almost at the northern
Arctic Circle. It was the first of the BEYOND conference series held outside
Germany (CERN Courier March 2003, pp. 29-30). Traditionally the Scientific
Programme of BEYOND conferences, brought into life in 1997 (see CERN Courier,
November 1997, pp.16-18), covers almost all topics of modern particle physics
(see contents).
