Description
Modern early-time cosmology and astrophysics relies on increasingly precise knowledge of the particle physics established in accelerator-based experiments. Vice-versa, some of the strongest motivations for future accelerator-based experiments arise from recent findings of observational cosmology and astrophysics. In this talk, I sketch with a broad brush this fruitful interdependence of research into the smallest and into the largest physical systems, and I ask how it can be continued at CERN into the future along the intensity and energy frontier.
