Abstract

Cosmological inflation is a successful paradigm providing  
self-consistent initial conditions to the standard cosmological  
scenario, and explaining the generation of primordial cosmological  
perturbations. I will recall the main motivations for inflation and  
explain why current observations provide some indirect --but rather  
convincing-- evidence in favor of inflation. Finally, I will present  
some up-to-date constraints on various inflationary models.
