PASCOS 2021 the 26th International Symposium on Particle Physics, String Theory, and Cosmology, will take place on June 14-18, 2021. The aim of the conference is to review recent progress in particle physics, astroparticle physics, string theory and cosmology, with particular emphasis on their interconnections. The symposium is a platform for researchers to report and discuss what has been learnt and what might show up in the next few years. Topics will include new physics at LHC, gravitational waves, neutrinos, dark matter and non-accelerator probes of new physics, string theory and new results in cosmology.
The conference includes invited plenary talks as well as contributed talks. We particularly welcome and encourage the participation of early career researchers.
PASCOS 2021 will be hosted via ZOOM by the Institute for Basic Science, Center for Theoretical Physics of the Universe, Daejeon, Republic of Korea

Where do we come from? Science is making progress on this age-old question of humankind. The Universe was once microscopic, much smaller than the size of an atom. Small things mattered in the small Universe, where quantum physics dominated the scene. To understand the way the Universe is today, we have to solve remaining major puzzles. The mysterious dark matter is our mother, we would not have been born without it, and is holding the galaxy together. But nobody has seen it directly. The neutrinos may be superheroes that saved us from complete annihilation. How will we know? And the Universe was stretched from microscopic to macroscopic size by inflation, who is our father that planted the seeds for stars and galaxies we see today. But do we ever meet him? I will discuss exciting future in this research.
