Abstract
CosmoESPRESSO is an FCT-funded project which aims to search for, identify and ultimately characterise the new physics that is responsible for the acceleration of the universe. I will briefly introduce the key goals of the project, and then highlight some of the results obtained in its second year, including new measurements of alpha, constraints on dynamical dark energy and modified gravity models, a possible solution to the Lithium problem in BBN, and accurate modelling and simulations of topological defect networks in Europe's largest supercomputer. I will also provide a brief update on our efforts to directly involve high-school students in scientific research.
