Invited and plenary talks have an emphasis on the most recent developments, including results from the LHC, Dark Matter and Gravitational wave experiments, Fermi, Planck and Herschel missions, ground-based cosmic ray, neutrino and gamma-ray detectors, etc. This will be complemented by a comprehensive coverage of theoretical aspects of the field. Afternoon parallel sessions will include dedicated mini-symposia on a variety of astrophysical topics.
