Cosmology is a broad interdisciplinary research discipline involving different fields of physics. The main goal of the Excellence Cluster Universe is to face the fundamental challenges of modern cosmology by bridging the gap between the astrophysics and the particle/nuclear physics communities. Therefore, the Excellence Cluster Universe organizes the symposium ‘Symmetries and Phases in the Universe’ which is held in the beautiful scenery at Kloster Irsee. The Symposium will present international top-level experts providing insights into the current status in their respective fields. Selected researchers will join the meeting for interdisciplinary discussions.

This is the list of speakers and title of their talk:

Lars Bergström (Stockholm, Sweden): Dark matter: candidates and detection methods
Pierre Binétruy (Paris, France): Brane inflation
Peter Braun-Munzinger (GSI, Germany): Ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions and the QCD phase diagram
Wilfried Buchmüller (DESY, Germany): Baryogenesis and dark matter
Daniel Denegri (CERN Switzerland): Getting ready for the LHC
Alvaro de Rujula (CERN Switzerland): The threat of dark science
Gino Isidori (LNF Frascati, Italy): The breaking of CP and flavor symmetries
Manfred Lindner (MPIK Heidelberg, Germany): Neutrinos as probe of new physics
Thanu Padmanabhan (IUCAA Pune, India): Gravity: The inside story
Angela Olinto (Chicago, USA): The origin of the highest energy particles
Keith Olive (Minnesota, USA): Big Bang Nucleosynthesis: status of concordance
Bernard Schutz (AEI Potsdam, Germany): Gravitational wave cosmology
Joe Silk (Oxford, UK): The evolution of structure in the universe
George Smoot (LBL Berkeley, USA): The Cosmic Microwave Background
Wolfram Weise (TU Munich, Germany): Phases of QCD
