Dark Matter and Dark Energy


- Joint Challenges for Particle Physics and Cosmology -

315th WE-Heraeus-Seminar, December 8-11, 2003 Bad Honnef


Aims and Scopes
The purpose of the meeting is to bring together physicists, astrophysicists, and cosmologists to critically assess the status of our understanding of the dark matter and the dark energy of the universe.
