In 2011 the AMS-02 instrument was installed on board the International Space Station. Since then, its main mission has been to obtain high precision data on the spectrum and chemical composition of cosmic rays originating in some of the most energetic phenomena in the Universe, such as supernova explosions. Another of its objectives is the study  of dark matter and the search for primordial antimatter originating from the early Universe. From the start of its operation, AMS has detected more than 115,000 cosmic ray events. The AMS Days at La Palma conference will focus on analysing the results and comparing them with those obtained from other instruments.
