Cosmology has seen a profound transformation over the past two decades: from a data-starved science to a big-data science.
The development of cosmology into a precision science has been so fast that there is one "special" generation of researchers that has seen it all, and 2015 sees the 60th birthday of a "special" one of them, Sabino Matarrese. Since the early 1980s, Sabino has been a prominent player in the development of the new science of cosmology.

We would like to make the most of this wonderful opportunity and reunite all these researchers, from three continents and as many academic generations, under the same roof for a three-day conference. Other eminent cosmologists from this "special" generation will also be present. We will retrace the path that cosmology has taken since the 1980s, review the current status of our understanding, discuss the new challenges and open questions, and design fruitful directions for the future of this amazing science.
