Description
In these lectures the current understanding of the underlying nature of electroweak symmetry breaking will be summarised and the most pressing open questions will be discussed. In this context in particular the exploration of the Higgs potential and possible implications of extended Higgs sectors will be
addressed. The interplay between Higgs physics and measurements and searches at particle colliders, the thermal evolution of the early universe giving rise to the electroweak phase transition, and possible signals at future gravitational
wave observatories will be explained.
