De Sitter and Anti-deSitter provide simple, yet rich, playgrounds for studying quantum gravity and quantum field theory. On the observational side, Planck has provided a data set with unprecedented accuracy concerning (what we believe to be) a primordial epoch of quasi-de Sitter expansion. The goal of the workshop will be to study what data can teach us about the fundamental properties of exact (anti) de Sitter spaces.
