Synergies between Neutrino Physics, Collider Physics and Cosmology

We review the scenario of baryogenesis through leptogenesis.
This is an appealing scenario which may relate the observed baryon asymmetry in the Universe to the low-energy neutrino data. Particular emphasis will be put on recent developments on the field, such as the flavourdynamics of leptogenesis and resonant leptogenesis near the electroweak phase transition. I will illustrate how these recent developments enable the modelling of phenomenologically predictive scenarios that can be probed at the LHC and in low-energy experiments of lepton-number and lepton-flavour violation.
