    Scientific Rationale

    Following an established tradition over the last 30 years, we are organizing a conference in Sesto Pusteria (Dolomites, Italy) on July 7-11 2025, focusing on the evolution of cosmic structures as traced by galaxy clusters.

    This is the fifth of a series of conferences that are organized every six years at the Sexten Center for Astrophysics Riccardo Giacconi.

    Specific topics will include:

    • The evolution of galaxy populations from protoclusters to massive clusters
    • The cosmic history of baryons in clusters
    •  New frontiers of gravitational lensing with clusters
    •  Cosmology with the new generation of cluster surveys
