Pedra Azul.

The José Plínio Baptista School of Cosmology (JPBCosmo) reviews every two years relevant topics in Theoretical Physics. Advanced courses and review seminars focus on the state of the art of the chosen topic. The school is aimed at graduate students. During this third edition, world's leading cosmologists will discuss and debate about the current status of knowledge on Dark Matter and Dark Energy.
