Rationale The conference addressed the cardinal issues of the dark universe today, gathering a selected number of scientists working in cosmology and particle physics in the inspiring and monumental setting of Avignon. There were both review talks by leading experts in each field and selected contributions, all aimed at encouraging in-depth debates. A certain amount of time was devoted to discussion sessions.
The 2023 edition, the sixth in the PONT series, focused on the following research topics:
- Early universe
- Late universe
- Gravitational waves
- Astrophysical messengers of new physics
Organizers Philippe Brax (IPhT Paris-Saclay, CEA), Francesca Calore (LAPTh Annecy), Marco Cirelli (LPTHE Jussieu Paris), Christian Marinoni (CPT Marseille), Vivian Poulin (LUPM Montpellier), Nicola Tamanini (L2IT Toulouse)

We reached the maximum capacity of the conference room and we were forced to close registrations earlier than foreseen.
We kindly asked registered participants who had changed their plans and could not come to Avignon to inform us as soon as possible so that we could allocate the place to another colleague.
