Abstract
This conference will be dedicated to exploring new frontiers and emerging directions in cosmology, astrophysics, and astroparticle physics, in light of the wealth of new data collected over the past decade. Special emphasis will be placed on exploring the interplay between these observations and our understanding of fundamental physics. The conference aims to bring together various international research groups to compare approaches and examine potential extensions of our current standard models.

Topics
Topics to be addressed during the conference include (but are not limited to):
- Inflation;
- Dark Matter;
- Dark Energy;
- Extensions to the Standard Model of particles and their implications for cosmology;
- Modified theories of gravity and their implications for cosmology.
