Several questions in cosmology remain unsolved and call for one or several new CMB space missions. During this school, some prominent experts in cosmology will present their points of view on the current status of knowledge in cosmology in the light of recent Planck results. They will present the new observations in a pedagogical way, with a summary of the underlying theory and of implications for fundamental physics. Finally, speakers and participants will discuss open problems and try to identify the most promising and realistic targets for future CMB missions.
The lectures will cover the following topics:
Review of standard cosmological model
Review of cosmological perturbations and CMB physics
Cosmology after Planck: what is next?
