Belen Barreiro, IFCA member, is one of the invited speakers at the VII MEETING ON FUNDAMENTAL COSMOLOGY and Patricio Vielva, IFCA member, member of the Scientific Committee.

These annual meetings aim to provide a venue for discussion and exchange of ideas among the Spanish community of Physical Cosmology, bringing as well as lead scientists from abroad in the topics of interest. This forum is intended to help us identify our challenges and opportunities for the future. It is being co-organized and co-funded by the Unidad de Excelencia María de Maeztu CIEMAT Física de Partículas, Instituto de Física de Partículas y del Cosmos (IPARCOS) of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and the MultiDark network.

During the meeting, we will review different aspects of particular interest in cosmology. The structure of the meeting will be with 'plenary' presentations (no parallels) including a few keynote invited speakers. Some of the topics that we will cover are:

- Cosmology with galaxy surveys

- Theory and alternatives to LCDM

- Dark matter detection

- Cosmic microwave background
