DESCRIPTION:Particle physics and cosmology have become increasingly interc
 onnected in recent years. In particular\, understanding the origin and nat
 ure of dark matter is one of the central challenges both in the search for
  new physics beyond the Standard Model and in understanding the formation 
 and evolution of the Universe. A wide range of approaches are being pursue
 d\, including theoretical studies\, accelerator experiments\, underground 
 experiments\, and astronomical observations.\nThis workshop will bring tog
 ether researchers working in particle physics\, cosmology\, dark matter\, 
 and related fields to share recent developments and promote interdisciplin
 ary discussions. Particular emphasis will be placed on the connections bet
 ween particle physics models and cosmological and astronomical observation
 s\, as well as on the complementarity among theoretical\, experimental\, a
 nd observational approaches to dark matter searches. The workshop aims to 
 explore new directions for future research and to foster potential collabo
 rations across different fields.\nInvited speakers: (random order)Daniel S
