Dear Colleagues,

we are excited to announce the 1st UNDARK Scientific School on:

“Astrophysical and Cosmological probes of Beyond the Standard Model”

to be held at the Benasque Science Center (Benasque, Spain) from March 9 to March 15, 2025.

The school aims at equipping PhD students in the field of astrophysical tests of fundamental physics with theoretical, phenomenological and numerical tools at the forefront of their field of research. It focus on cosmology, stars and other compact objects as probes of BSM physics, dark matter and general relativity.

The following lectures are part of the program of this year:

- BSM Physics in Astrophysical Data: J. Foster (Fermilab) 
- BSM Physics from stars: Sam Witte (Oxford U.) 
- BSM in late time cosmology: Laura López-Honórez (Brussels U.) 
- BSM in early cosmology: Miguel Escudero (CERN) 
- NSs, BHs and GW Observation: Irina Dvorkin (IAP) 

- Invited lecturer: GWs in the LISA era: Valeriya Korol (MPA) 

- Diversity and Unconscious Bias: Yossi Nir (WIS), Meytal Jona (WIS) 
- Communication and illustration: Jonas Enander, Ève Barlier

No fee will be charged to participating students, and only a limited number of spots are available. 

Applications should be submitted through the Benasque Science Center dedicated web page: https://benasque.org/2025bsm/, before the deadline of January 15, 2025. More details on how to reach and where to stay in Benasque, as well as its unique surroundings, can be found on the Benasque Science Center web page: https://benasque.org/.

The UNDARK consortium, where UNDARK stands for Unravelling the Dark Universe from the Canary islands Observatories, aims at resolving the constituents and the laws which govern this dark side of the universe. The consortium is led by the IAC, and has scientific nodes at CERN, IFAE, WIS and LAPTh. More details can be found at: https://research.iac.es/proyecto/undark/.
