This USP Conference shall cover the key issues of Cosmology, from particle physics, fundamental gravitation, cosmic background radiation, dark matter and dark energy, large-scale structure, simulations of the formation of structure in the Universe, as well as comparisons to observations.

The conference will also explore the frontier of our knowledge about the First Objects, the farthest observable stars and galaxies detectable from radio through optical up to the ultra high energy gamma-ray bursts.
