A brief introduction to Euclid and what we can learn from it 

Abstract: Euclid is an ESA medium class astronomy and astrophysics space mission. Euclid was selected by ESA in October 2011 and its launch is planned for 2022. Euclid will explore how the Universe evolved over the past 10 billion years to address questions related to fundamental physics and cosmology on the nature and properties of dark energy, dark matter and gravity. Euclid will also provide insightful information on the physics of the early universe and on the initial conditions which seed the formation of cosmic structure.

I will give a brief general overview of the Euclid satellite and its mission, and describe the main probes and how they observe the evolution of the Universe. Focusing particularly on dark energy models, I will then briefly review what we know now, and how Euclid will improve our knowledge.
