Three teams of scientists from Norway, Czech Republic and Iceland join expertises in the attempt to shed light onto the nature of the most abundant ingredient in the Universe: dark matter.

Welcome to the annual meeting of Euclid Consortium. This year's meeting is hosted by the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics in Oslo, Norway, April 26-29, 2022.

"What motivates me in research is the hope that I can figure out something brand new in physics" - PhD student Johannes Røsok Eskilt.

"There is something really compelling to me about cosmology in general, that we are able to answer philosophical questions quantitatively" - Duncan Watts.

- The most fascinating thing about astronomy is that us humans, not living in any special location in the Universe, have figured out the way to learn about its vastness and evolution.

– What could be more exciting than to uncover the very nature of reality by studying the contents of the Universe! There is no other field of science that researches a thing as fundamental as the very Universe itself!
