Extreme Energy Cosmic Ray particles (EECR) with E>1020 eV arriving on Earth with very low flux (~1 particle/Km2-1000yr) require for their investigation very large detecting areas, exceeding values of 1000 km2 sr. Projects with these dimensions are now being proposed: Ground Arrays (``Auger'' with 2×3500 km2 sr) or exploiting the Earth Atmosphere as seen from space (``AIR WATCH'' and OWL,'' with effective area reaching 1 million km2 sr). In this last case, by using as a target the 1013 tons of air viewed, also the high energy neutrino flux can be investigated conveniently. Gamma Rays Bursts are suggested as a possible source for EECR and the associated High Energy neutrino flux.
