Energetic
events in terms of physical processes or specific
objects are incomparable tools to probe the Universe
and its components.
They are signature of dramatic processes in the primordial
Universe with gravitational waves consecutive to an
inflationary phase or in the present one with possible
annihilation of dark matter.
They are bright candles, like SNe or GRBs, allowing to
stride space and look back in time on
prodigious scales.
They are beacons whose light
reveals both their hosts and matter along their path.
As such, the aim of this conference is to explore
all these aspects focusing on the physics of objects and processes in
the perspective of their use for cosmology and cosmic evolution (which
are the titles of our 3 sessions).
Sessions will be devoted to these topics with
both reviews and short contributions.
