    Title Cosmology as Fundamental Physics
    Agenda Thanks to amazing advances in observational technology over the last few decades, cosmology has become an integral part of basic sciences. In particular, with the increasing precision of observational data, we are confronting many theoretical challenges that may ultimately lead to a paradigm shift in our understanding of nature.
    This symposium aims to explore those challenges in depth and to gain inspiration and future perspectives.
