On-going or planned experiments on non-accelerator physics address fundamental questions in many fields. They can be split up into experimental searches on: 1) neu-trino properties: mass, magnetic moment, oscillations, double /5 decay; 2) detection and measurement of gravitational waves (GW); 3) (astro)physical phenomena from distant regions in the universe: origin and composition of cosmic rays (CR), mag-netic monopoles, dark matter, primordial antimatter, supernovae explosions (SN), high energy neutrinos; 4) fundamental questions or extremely precise tests of quan-tum mechanics and QED. In most cases a unifying pattern underlies different searches and links and complementarities exist between different experiments and techniques: a SN explosion can be detected in underground laboratories by a burst of neutrinos, as it happened for SN 1987A, or in other labs with GW antennas perturbed by a burst of GW: the two measurements are complementary both for fundamental properties and for understanding the astrophysical mechanisms.
