The Dark Side of the Universe (DSU) is a series of international workshops in cosmology and astro-particle 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. The 16th event of the series will be hosted by ICTP-EAIFR in Kigali, Rwanda from 13 to 17 July 2020.
Topics covered include:
dark matter
dark energy
cosmic rays
