23rd Meeting MULTIDARK

17 Jun 2026, 09:15 → 19 Jun 2026, 16:15 Europe/London

Welcome to the 23rd MultiDark Meeting, hosted by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias on 17 - 19 June. Despite the remarkable success of the standar models of particle physics and cosmology, we still do not know what constitutes the substance thought to make up up to ~85% of the Universe’s matter. Determining the nature of dark matter remains one of the most pressing challenges in modern physics.

MultiDark is a Spanish Research Network bringing together theoretical and experimental groups of particle physicists, astrophysicists, and cosmologists from 15 Spanish universities and research institutes to tackle the dark-matter puzzle from a genuinely multidisciplinary perspective. Funded by the Spanish Research State Agency of the Ministry of Science and Innovation, the network has been actively working on multiple aspects of dark matter for 15 years, and remains committed to advancing this research in the years ahead:

This workshop brings together experts in astroparticle physics, high-energy physics, phenomenology, astrophysics, cosmology, experiments, and simulations to share recent results, strengthen collaborations, and spark new interdisciplinary approaches. The program consist of contributed talks highlighting the latest activities of the MultiDark network structured around five working groups:

• WG1: Direct Detection
• WG2: Indirect Detection - Gamma & Cosmic Rays
• WG3: Indirect Detection - Neutrinos
• WG4: Dark Matter Theory and Colliders
• WG5: Cosmology

This workshop represents a coordinated effort organized by the recently founded transversal line at the IAC "Dark matter: observations, models and detection"  and is partially supported by the MICINN through the grant “DarkMaps” PID2022-142142NB-I00.
