Objective
At present there is emerging a new, interdisciplinary field of research which combines cosmology, astrophysics and particle physics. It has become very clear that for understanding the challenging problems of cosmology - such as the origin of baryon asymmetry of the Universe, the dark matter and dark energy, the origin of large scale structures and the mechanism of inflation - one needs theoretical concepts and theoretical tools of particle physics which go beyond the Standard Model of elementary interactions and that, on the other hand, the early Universe is an ideal testing ground for new fundamental theories.
The Chair for Theory of Particles and Elementary Interactions in the Institute of Theoretical Physics, Warsaw University, plays the leading role at the national level and is one of the highly recognized European groups in theoretical particle physics with very strong expertise in the Standard Model and in the physics beyond. The purpose of this transfer of knowledge project is to extend the competence of the host to cosmology and astrophysics and, at the same time, to share its expertise in particle physics with European experts in cosmology and astrophysics. This project will allow for a full integration of the Warsaw group and broader theoretical particle physics community in Poland into the European research programme at the interface of cosmology and particle physics.
The objectives of this project will be implemented by:
- a programme of short (2 - 3 months) visits to Warsaw paid by experts in cosmology, astrophysics and particle cosmology, including cosmological aspects of string theory,
- recruitment to Warsaw of 2 experienced postdocs for 2 years each for a long term collaboration based on the complementary expertise,
- secondments of the members of the host group to the three European laboratories that play the leading role in the European research programme in cosmology and astrophysics.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
