Description

The aim of the workshop is to illuminate the observational status of inflationary models after the recent BICEP/Keck data in conjunction with previous ones from the WMAP and PLANCK satellites. Topics will cover also implications of the inflationary cosmology to other sectors of the Beyond-to-Standard-Model Physics, such as grand unification, topological defects, proton decay, supersymmetry breaking, baryo-/lepto-genesis and dark matter.

The workshop includes 8-10 talks. The duration of the talks will be 20-30 minutes plus 10 minutes discussion. We understand that due to covid restrictions or for other reasons, some of you might opt out of participating in person and for this reason we offer the possibility of online participation if necessary.
