RedH0T Red teaming the H0 Tension

Coordinator: UNIVERSITAT DE BARCELONA (ES)

Despite the spectacular success of the standard cosmological model over the past two decades, recent observations from large sky surveys and distance measurements with a broad range of cosmological probes suggest cracks to the accepted paradigm: differences now appear in measurements of quantities the current cosmological model predicts as equal. These are called “tensions”. The most important tension concerns the Hubble parameter, H0, which quantifies the expansion rate of the Universe now, some 13 billion years after Big-Bang. The Hubble tension is the discrepancy between the value of H0, w…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €12.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2026-09-01 to 2032-08-31.
