The Aquila consortium was founded in 2016 in response to a growing need in pushing new techniques for data inference in cosmology. The Aquila consortium developed rapidly with a network of about 15 scientists distributed between France, Germany, Sweden, UK.

Science goals
We are leading in the development of Bayesian physical forward modelling approaches permitting us to extract information relevant to cosmology from non-linear cosmic structures in observations of the galaxy distribution, which is missed by traditional methods. Using these techniques the Aquila consortium aims at exploiting data to answer the following outstanding questions in modern cosmology:


 * What is the origin of cosmic structure?
 * What is the true nature of dark matter and dark energy?
 * Do we need a modification of the theory of gravity?
 * How do galaxies form?

Projects
The consortium has achieved many breakthrough in cosmological data analysis.
