"Dark Matter Awareness Week" is envisaged as a worldwide
effort for disseminating information about one of the most
pressing problems and elusive aspects of astrophysics, high-energy
physics, cosmology and relativity. The purpose of this event is
to increase the awareness of the phenomenology of the mass discrepancy
problem in galaxies amongst the many scientists currently working with
a
theoretical, observational, experimental and simulation approach on
issues involving dark matter or its alternatives. The talk 'Dark Matter
in Galaxies' has been presented by several speakers in about 140 places
around the world.
