With the advent in the near future of radio telescopes as LOFAR , a new window on the high-redshift universe will be opened. In particular, it will be possible, for the first time, to observe the 21cm signal from the diffuse Intergalactic Medium (IGM) prior to its reionization and thus probe the “dark ages”. In this talk I will discuss about the theoretical modeling of the reionziation process, the observability of the 21cm signal from the diffuse IGM and the efforts ongoing within the LOFAR Epoch of Reionization working group.
