Spectacular breakthroughs in astronomy have been driven by a combination of observational advances and groundbreaking computer simulations. Simulations are now accepted as being essential for the interpretation and exploitation of astronomical data. Europe is a world leader in this area. Our aim is to build on a highly successful Horizon2020 RISE network to avoid fragmentation of expertise and concentration of supercomputer resources in a few groups. We will do this through international mobility between leading international centres in the subject. The LACEGAL objectives include addressing some of the biggest questions in science: * What is Dark Matter and how do its properties affect galaxies and galaxy clusters? * What is the Dark Energy behind the accelerating expansion of the Universe and how does it relate to the rest of physics? Is it a cosmological constant, a new form of mass-energy, or a low-energy deviation from Einstein's theory of gravity? * How did galaxies acquire their observed forms? What determines their characteristic properties? * How did our galaxy, the Milky Way, form and how can this be read from the "archeological" record preserved in its stellar populations? Our research program is ambitious and ground-breaking. It is only possible through the opportunity that the Staff Exchange provides to bring together world leaders in a wide range of areas to work on common problems. The exchange of researchers will provide the critical mass is necessary to deliver our program. LACEGAL will providing unique training opportunities and build lasting collaborations. LACEGAL will be key in allowing Europe to exploit its huge investment in observational facilities, such as the Euclid mission to probe the nature of dark energy, and to build European leadership in international projects, such as the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, Euclid, the Legacy Survey of Space and Time, and the Square Kilometre Array.

天文学的壮观突破是由观察进步和开创性计算机模拟的结合驱动的。现在，将模拟被认为是对天文数据的解释和开发至关重要的。欧洲是该领域的世界领导者。我们的目的是建立在非常成功的Horizo​​n2020 Rise网络上，以避免在几个小组中的专业知识和集中资源的浓度分散。我们将通过该主题领先的国际中心之间的国际流动性来做到这一点。蕾丝目标包括解决科学中一些最大的问题： *什么是暗物质，其特性如何影响星系和星系簇？ *宇宙加速膨胀背后的暗能量是什么？它与其他物理学有何关系？它是宇宙常数，一种新形式的质量能量，还是与爱因斯坦重力理论的低能偏差？ *星系如何获得观察到的形式？是什么决定了它们的特性？ *我们的银河系，银河系，形式如何，如何从保存在其恒星种群中的“考古”记录中读取这一点？我们的研究计划是雄心勃勃的。只有通过机会，员工交流才能将世界领导人汇集到各个领域，以解决常见问题。研究人员的交流将提供关键质量对于实施我们的计划是必要的。 Lacegal将提供独特的培训机会并建立持久的合作。 Lacegal将是允许欧洲在观察设施中利用巨大投资的关键，例如欧几里得的使命，探测黑暗能源的性质，并在国际项目中建立欧洲领导力，例如黑暗能源光谱仪器，欧几里得，空间和时空的传统调查，以及平方公里的阵列。
