DarkMap - Mapping the Dark Universe

Scientific program:

DarkMap will be a conference in Budapest about various topics in theoretical and observational cosmology, focusing on the physics of dark matter and dark energy. We will bring together early-career scientists and senior researchers and discuss how the state-of-the-art cosmic maps can be used to learn about cosmic history. 

During the conference, we will hear about novel methods that go beyond standard correlation function analyses, and we will also cover the latest simulation efforts to model standard as well as non-standard cosmological models. 

Confirmed speakers:

• Benjamin Granett (INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera)
• Gabrijela Zaharijas (University of Nova Gorica)
• John Peacock (University of Edinburgh)
• Luigi Guzzo (Milan University)
• Marika Asgari (Newcastle University)
