CosmoFONDUE - Cosmological Fundamental Observables and Novel Discoveries in Universe Evolution

10 Jun 2025, 11:00 → 13 Jun 2025, 20:30 Europe/Zurich

Main auditorium (École de physique, Quai Ernest-Ansermet 24, 1205 Genève, Svizzera)

While new discoveries in cosmology have revolutionized our understanding of the Universe over the past decades, many unresolved mysteries remain, such as the nature of dark energy or the physical processes occurring in the earliest stages of history. To resolve these questions in light of new observations, joint efforts across the whole community are needed.
This conference aims at offering an occasion for scientists across all fields of cosmology to interact in an engaging and inclusive atmosphere, and to reflect on promising new research directions. A special focus is put on fostering exchange among junior and senior researchers. 

Confirmed speakers:

• Luca Amendola
  
• Camille Bonvin
• Chiara Caprini
• Anthony Challinor
• Eleonora di Valentino
• Daniel G. Figueroa
  
• Ruth Durrer
• Julien Lesgourgues
