The future of Cosmology will be shaped by an unprecedented observational effort: Cosmic Microwave Background, galaxy surveys, line-intensity mapping, gravitational waves, and many other experiments will map the structure of the Universe since its first moments up to the present day with unparalleled capabilities. Understanding this wealth of data, and ultimately connecting the properties of the Universe we observe to the physical laws that governed its evolution, represents a unique challenge in terms of theoretical modelling and data analysis.
At the same time, some of the most fundamental open questions in Cosmology lie at the intersection between the early Universe and quantum physics: from the quantum origin of primordial perturbations during inflation, to the nature of the initial singularity, to the role of quantum effects in shaping the earliest moments of cosmic history. Bringing together these theoretical frontiers with the wealth of upcoming observational data is one of the most exciting challenges for the years to come.
The Asiago Cosmology Dedicated Meeting is an annual gathering of the Cosmology group at the University of Padova, together with its close collaborators, students, and postdocs. The goal of this meeting is to bring together theoretical and observational cosmologists working within the group to exchange ideas, discuss ongoing projects, and foster new collaborations in a relaxed and informal setting. The three-day meeting will involve short talks, brainstorming sessions and work sessions to kickstart new projects, covering topics ranging from the late-time large-scale structure of the Universe to the physics of the early Universe and quantum aspects of Cosmology.
Participants will include staff, postdocs, PhD students, and Master's students of the Cosmology group in Padova, as well as long-term collaborators.
The participation to the workshop does not require the payment of a fee, however, for logistic purposes, a registration is mandatory. Please register at the "registration" page on this Indico website.
The workshop is co-organized by INFN - Padova Unit and the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Padova
