We believe dark matter makes up 85% of the matter in the universe. However, its nature is one of the biggest puzzles in physics. Around the world in October we celebrate this search during the “Dark Matter Day”. Researchers at MPA and in the many institutes from Garching and Munich are in the forefront of the search for the nature of dark matter.

To celebrate the amazing research done in Garching and Munich, we are having the “Dark Matter Day” at MPA.

Come and join us on Oct. 30th from 14:00 to 16:30 to celebrate the day with an afternoon of talks by some of the amazing researchers from the Munich and Garching area and get to know some of the different topics of dark matter studied here.
