COSMO 2013

The seventeenth edition of the annual International Conference on Particle Physics and Cosmology – COSMO 2013 – will be held at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology, Cambridge, UK in the week of September 2-6, 2013.

The COSMO series is one of the major venues of interaction between cosmologists and particle physicists. The year 2013 being the year of the first release of cosmological results from the Planck satellite, we consider it more important than ever to encourage such interactions between the fields. COSMO 13 will have an excellent line-up of plenary speakers. Some of the topics to be discussed at COSMO include:

Results from the Planck satellite
Results from the Large Hadron Collider
The large-scale structure of the Universe
Cosmic acceleration
String cosmology
Primordial cosmology
Numerical cosmology
Particle astrophysics
Dark matter

The Long View – Santa Fe Institute

Santa Fe Institute is famous for tackling “big questions” across all spatio-temporal scales, including those associated with deep history. These lectures address such topics as how life emerged, how innovative mechanisms in biology changed over hundreds of millions of years, and how languages evolved.
