DESCRIPTION:The standard model (SM) of particle physics encodes our curren
 t understanding of elementary particles. Despite having been tested by man
 y experiments to a high level of accuracy\, no significant deviations from
  SM predictions have been observed so far. With the start of the Large Had
 ron Collider (LHC) at CERN\, particle physics entered a new era. The most 
 sensational achievement of the LHC has been the detection of the Higgs bos
 on. Although we may think that all pieces of the big jigsaw puzzle of natu
 re have now been revealed\, our modern understanding of quantum field theo
 ries tells us that the SM is necessarily incomplete and cannot be valid up
  to any large scales. Moreover\, the SM does not answer a number of crucia
 l questions about nature\, such as neutrino masses and the nature of dark 
 matter. In this talk I will show how the characterisation of the Higgs bos
 on in terms of its coupling to the other particles in the SM is one of the
  key elements of the fascinating question for New Physics and gives us imp
 ortant clues about the fate of our Universe.
