Description

Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) are the most energetic particles ever detected, with energies reaching above 10^20 eV. In this talk, I will present the current state of knowledge of these messengers of the Universe, also discussing future prospects achievable with the observatories that are currently taking data and with new projects that are planned to be developed.
