The Cosmic Web from Galaxies to Cosmology
IFPU
23-27 June 2025
The matter distribution in the Universe follows a web-like structure at all levels of density, from the intergalactic medium to clusters of galaxies. It consists of filaments, sheets, knots and voids. This cosmic web provides the framework for the formation and evolution of galaxies in the Universe, at high and low redshift, and is fundamentally connected to cosmology. Our goals is to bring together cosmic web experts in observations, simulations and theory, to address the following two intertwined questions: 1. How may the cosmic web be used to constrain cosmological models and the cosmic reionization history of the Universe? 2. What is the relationship between the formation and evolution of galaxies and their cosmic web environment?
