Dark Matter Awareness Week is envisaged as a worldwide effort for disseminating specific information about one of the most pressing problems and elusive aspects of astrophysics, high-energy physics, cosmology and relativity.

On 1 and 3 December, two series of short, informal talks will be presented at our institute by several of your colleagues. The content of the talk will be at the level of a journal club talk.

The overall purpose of this event is to increase the awareness of the phenomenology of the mass discrepancy problem in galaxies amongst the many scientists currently working with a theoretical, observational, experimental and simulation approach on issues involving dark matter or its alternatives.
