Scientific Programme, Confirmed Speakers and Area Conveners

The programme will be divided into six thematic areas:


1) Dark Matter (models and observations)

2) Early Universe (inflation, baryogenesis, phase transitions)

3) Gravitational Waves and Compact Objects (primordial GWs, black holes, neutron stars)

4) High-Energy Astroparticle Physics (cosmic rays, GRBs)

5) CMB and Late Universe (CMB, LSS, intensity mapping)

6) Low-Energy Neutrinos (solar and supernova, terrestrial experiments)


Each area will feature four invited presentations, selected by the Local Organising Committee in consultation with the Scientific Advisory Committee, and six contributed lightning talks. It will be chaired by an established scientist in the field, who will also give an overview talk in the final session of the Symposium:
