Scientific paper

Very-high-energy gamma-ray astronomy has witnessed a major breakthrough with the physics results obtained by ground-based instruments during the last few years. These results have demonstrated impressively the huge physics potential of this field, not only in the area of astrophysics, but also in particle physics and cosmology. However, it also became apparent that the performance of current instruments is not sufficient to tap the full physics potential. The answer of the European VHE energy community to that challenge is the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). A short overview of the CTA project is given.
