ICTP-EAIFR is looking forward to host the 16th International Conference on the Dark Side of the Universe (DSU) in 2021. Organisers of the conference, which was postponed from 2020, will soon announce the new dates.

The DSU conferences are a series of international workshops in cosmology and astroparticle physics. The workshops bring together a wide range of theorists and experimentalists to discuss current ideas on models of the dark sector of the Universe, and relate them to ongoing and future experiments. Topics covered include: dark matter, dark energy, cosmic rays, neutrino physics, large-scale structure, black holes, gravitational waves, physics beyond the standard model, and more.
