Abstract
The inflationary scenario has become the paradigm of early universe cosmology. However, inflation is not the only early universe model which can explain the current cosmological data. I will discuss some alternatives.
The Colloquium will be followed by a short break with coffee and biscuits at 12:00 pm, before Prof. Brandenberger will lead a discussion and Q&A.
