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

Recombination, reionization, CMB spectral distorsions

CMB temperature and polarisation observations

CMB lensing

Clusters and cosmology

Large Scale Structure

BOSS and eBOSS surveys

Supernovae and cosmology

Dark Matter models and probes

Light relics

Dark energy and modified gravity

Inflation

Non-gaussianity

Topological defects

Smoking guns of phase transitions, primordial magnetic fields

Topology, Homogeneity, Isotropy
