Description
Cosmic voids are large underdense regions that constitute one of the most prominent aspect of the Cosmic Web and occupy most of the volume in the Universe. Despite their extreme low density, voids contain a tenuous network of filaments and low-mass galaxies, providing a unique and pristine environment for studying the formation and evolution of galaxies. In this talk I will present recents results showing the impact of the low density environment of cosmic voids on the properties of galaxies living within them.
