Marco Baldi & Kazuya Koyama Brief summary of the conference The Quest for Dark Energy: when theory meets simulations @ Ringberg Castle, Germany Cosmological models beyond the standard CDM are attracting more and more attention
Cosmological models beyond the standard ΛCDM are attracting more and more attention lately (maybe also because of Euclid?) Several conferences and meetings devoted to non-standard cosmologies are taking place... Just to give an idea, my personal agenda of the last month has been: June 18-20, Paris: 17th Itzykson meeting “Heart of Darkness: Dark Energy and Modified Gravity” June 24-29, Ringberg: International conference “The quest for Dark Energy: when theory meets simulations” July 2-6, Sesto: International conference “Beyond ΛCDM: from dark matter halos to large-scale structures”

Conclusions
The Ringberg conference brought together experts in theoretical modeling and numerical simulations of non-standard DE scenarios The simulations sessions have shown that an impressive number
- f independent efforts towards simulating DE/MG models are
being pursued in the community Multiple independent codes based on different basic algorithms have been developed, and could now be tested against each
