hile new discoveries in cosmology have revolutionized our understanding of the Universe over the past decades, many unresolved mysteries remain, such as the nature of dark energy or the physical processes occurring in the earliest stages of history. To resolve these questions in light of new observations, joint efforts across the whole community are needed.
The conference Cosmological Fundamental Observables and Novel Discoveries in Universe Evolution (CosmoFONDUE) aims at offering an occasion for scientists across all fields of cosmology to interact in an engaging and inclusive atmosphere, and to reflect on promising new research directions. A special focus is put on fostering exchange among junior and senior researchers. The conference will cover a broad range of topics across the full redshift span, including:
- Inflation, pre-CMB cosmology
- CMB surveys
- Neutrino & particle cosmology
- Gravitational waves
- Galaxy surveys, large-scale structure observables
- Intensity mapping
- Supernovae
- Modified gravity
- Cosmological tensions
