DESCRIPTION:Recent developments in theoretical physics have significantly 
 broadened our understanding of symmetry\, revealing that it provides power
 ful organising principles not only for equilibrium phases but also for dyn
 amical phenomena in quantum many-body systems. Modern symmetry frameworks
 —including higher-form symmetries\, non-invertible symmetries\, and subs
 ystem symmetries—have introduced new ways to characterize emergent struc
 tures\, topological orders\, and collective behavior across quantum matter
  and quantum field theory.\nWhile symmetry has traditionally been associat
 ed with the classification of phases and conservation laws\, it is increas
 ingly recognized as a guiding principle for understanding infrared dynamic
 s\, constraints on low-energy excitations\, and universal responses of str
 ongly correlated systems. In particular\, anomalies\, symmetry-breaking pa
 tterns\, and emergent gauge structures often dictate the possible dynamica
 l behaviour of quantum systems even in the absence of detailed microscopic
  knowledge.\nThis workshop aims to bring together researchers working at t
 he intersection of condensed matter physics and quantum field theory to ex
 plore how modern symmetry concepts shape and constrain quantum dynamics. B
 y encouraging interaction between these communities\, the workshop seeks t
 o advance our understanding of how symmetry principles can give rise to un
 iversal dynamical structures in quantum matter.\nIn this workshop\, we pla
 n to cover several topics including:\n\nEmergent gauge structures and topo
 logical order in quantum many-body systems\nDynamics constrained by genera
 lized symmetries and anomalies\nSpontaneous symmetry breaking and collecti
 ve excitations beyond the conventional paradigm\nSymmetry-based approaches
  to gapless and topological systems\nInfrared universality and effective f
 ield theory perspectives on quantum dynamics \n\nThe workshop is designed
  to be very light\, with typical days consist of 2-3 long (1.5 hours) talk
  per day with long breaks in between. The purpose of the former is for the
  speaker to be able to properly introduce the background/technique before 
 diving into exciting recent developments while the latter allows for in-de
 pth discussions. \n\nDate and Venue\nDate: June 29 (Monday) - July 10 (Fr
