Effective Field Theories in Particle Physics and Cosmology

The topic of the CVIII session of Les Houches School, held in July 2017, was Effective Field Theory (EFT).

The goal of this school was to offer a broad introduction to the foundations and modern applications of Effective Field Theory in many of its incarnations.
