 years\, cosmology\, which is the study of the original composition and evo
 lution of the Universe\, has made the transition to a precision science: t
 he standard cosmological model has been established and its parameters are
  now measured with unprecedented precision. But how do we know what we kno
 w? And where do we go from here? What are the challenges and opportunities
 ? In this talk\, I will try to give you a flavour of how cosmologists grap
 ple with these questions.\n\n\nSpeaker profile:\n\nProfessor Licia Verde i
