Cosmological phase transitions (PTs), intrinsically related to the symmetries governing the universe, continue drawing great interest as rich frameworks able to address open questions in particle physics and cosmology such as baryo-/leptogenesis, dark matter, neutrino mass generation and the strong CP problem, and as promising sources of detectable signals from cosmological gravitational waves and primordial magnetic fields. More precise predictions are becoming possible thanks to computational advancements.

This workshop aims to offer an overview over both conceptual and technical aspects of PTs. We will focus on generic features of PTs, Beyond-Standard-Model applications, advances in precision modelling and potential signatures. The workshop will bridge the gaps between communities working on different aspects of PTs therefore generating cross-field expertise. It will provide a dedicated platform in which experts and novices can interface with each other and build a network of know-how that can organically tackle the challenges that lay ahead, guiding future research directions.
