Dark UNiverse Explorations

The Austrian Science Fund (FWF) Special Research Area (SFB) “Dark UNiverse Explorations – DUNE” creates an Austrian research network, connecting scientists at the University of Innsbruck, the University of Vienna, and the Institute for Science and Technology Austria (ISTA). Embedded into large international collaborations, such as the Euclid Consortium and COLIBRE, the interdisciplinary DUNE team probes the nature of the dominant invisible components of the Universe, dark matter and dark energy, by analysing Euclid and JWST observations and combining them with state-of-the-art simulations.
