The puzzles of dark matter, dark energy and the nature of the early universe demand a joint venture between cosmology and particle physics. The Center for Particle Cosmology provides an incubator for such research, fostering the development of new theoretical approaches, grounded in the current epoch of remarkable experimental progress.
