Saas Fee Advanced Doctoral Workshop 2027

Understanding the nature of dark matter remains one of the most pressing open problems in modern physics, sitting at the intersection of particle physics, cosmology, and astrophysics. In this series of lectures we will explore the case for dark matter, both from an astrophysical and particle viewpoint. We will examine the motivation for cosmological dark matter and those models that are looking beyond. Finally, we will look to experiments that are pushing the boundaries of dark matter science and what we hope to discover in the next decade
