Starting as a workshop in Ambleside in 1997, annual COSMO meetings rapidly became a major venue of interaction of theorists working at an interface of particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Topics to be discussed include:
Dark Matter
Dark Energy
Inflation and primordial cosmology
CMB and the large-scale structure of the Universe
Primordial gravitational waves
Particle astrophysics
The ESA mission Planck has set a very high standard in European research on the cosmological microwave background delivering the definitive map of temperature fluctuations. These measurements together with other measurements, e.g. the discovery of Higgs at LHC nurture the hope of a fundamental theory addressing the formation of the Universe at all scales from the smallest to the largest.
Furthermore, Planck together with other CMB measurements on ground and large surveys using telescopes opened the possibility of new breakthroughs in the CMB domain, including the mapping of the B-polarisation. This will give access to the parameters of inflation and the neutrino mass, the correlation of CMB with large scale structures as well as the distortions of the blackbody spectrum, opening access to phase transitions and other events before recombination.
It is currently believed that the next space mission will happen at the earliest in the late twenties-early thirties and it should be planned with the same ambition that determined the design of Planck, that is: give definitive measurements. Till then the European CMB community needs to develop both intermediate measurements on ground or using balloons and the technology that would permit ultimate sensitivities.
APPEC and ASTRONET organize the meeting “Towards the European Coordination of the CMB programme” in August 31-1 September 2015 in Florence. The meeting will gather both principal investigators and agency representatives attempting to set the conditions and chart the first steps towards European coordination on the ground and sub-orbital missions, review and prepare future collaboration in the detector side, discuss similar efforts in other parts of the world, prepare the proposals to future mission calls of ESA.

The 34th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC) is an important and large conference in the field of Astroparticle Physics. The ICRC covers: cosmic-ray physics, solar and heliospheric physics, gamma-ray astronomy, neutrino astronomy, and dark matter physics.
The Fourteenth Marcel Grossmann Meeting on Recent Developments in Theoretical and Experimental General Relativity, Gravitation, and Relativistic Field Theory will take place at the University of Rome Sapienza July 12 – 18, 2015, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Einstein equations as well as the International Year of Light under the aegis of the United Nations.
For the first time, in addition to the main meeting in Rome, a series of satellite meetings to MG14 will take place. The registration to MG14 will also cover participation in one additional satellite meeting.
On behalf of the members of the Collaborative Research Center 634 (Sonderforschungbereich 634) “Nuclear Structure, Nuclear Astrophysics and Fundamental Experiments at Low Momentum Transfer at the Superconducting Darmstadt Linear Accelerator (S-DALINAC)” we would like to invite you to its concluding conference. The CRC has been funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) for the maximum possible period of 12 years since July 2003. The conference will be held at the Darmstadtium Conference Center in Darmstadt, Germany.
The International Center for Theoretical Physics is proud to host PASCOS 2015, the 21st International Symposium on Particle, Strings and Cosmology. The aim of the symposium is to review the recent progress in particle physics, string theory and cosmology, with particular emphasis on their interrelation. While the conference is mainly aimed at theorists, there will be a strong experimental component, with discussion of new results and future experiments.
The topics that will be covered include:
Beyond SM Physics
Conformal Field Theory
Cosmological Probes
Dark Matter and Dark Energy
Flavor Physics and CP Violation
Future Colliders
Higgs Physics
Inflationary Cosmology
Neutrino Physics
New Experimental Particle Physics Results
Non-Accelerator Probes of BSM
Primordial Gravitational Waves
String Phenomenology
SUSY Phenomenology
This symposium is the 13th of such series, started 1988, to exchange the progress of nuclear astrophysics and related fields. As demonstrated in previous ones, this symposium series provide good opportunity to attract researchers in fields of nuclear physics, astrophysics, and more, with more than 100 participants.
The Invisibles15 Workshop follows Invisibles15 School, and it will be organized in collaboration with the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum (Madrid) with scheduled meetings at both the IFT (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid campus, 2 full days) and the museum itself (3 full days).
The focus of the workshop will be on the interfaces between the physics of the visible and the invisible (neutrinos, dark matter and Beyond the Standard Model Physics) sectors:
Invisibles meets collider and Higgs physics
Invisibles meets CPV: axions and neutrino CP searches
Flavour interface: quarks, leptons and dark matter
The European Week of Astronomy and Space Science (EWASS, formerly JENAM) is the annual meeting of the European Astronomical Society (EAS). With more than 20 years of tradition, it has imposed itself as the largest conference for European astronomy. In addition to plenary sessions and the award of prestigious prizes, the conference hosts many symposia held in parallel, as well as special sessions and meetings.
The EAS together with one of its affiliated societies, organises the annual EWASS conference to enhance its links with national communities, to broaden connections between individual members and to promote European networks.
