Cosmic rays: lots of data... and a few theoretical challenges

I will first review what we have learned from cosmic rays recently, thanks to spectacular experimental advances.
I will describe how these measurements are shaking several tenets of the “consensus scenario" about (Galactic) cosmic ray astrophysics.
Based on these new elements, I will discuss a few new interesting questions that have emerged to be addressed in the coming years, also mentioning some implications for indirect dark matter searches.
