DESCRIPTION:Speakers: James Ingoldby (Durham U\, IPPP)\, Valentin V Khoze 
 (IPPP)\, Rodrigo Alonso (Durham)\, Carlos Tamarit (Durham IPPP)\, Felix Yu
  (JGU Mainz)\, Rachel Houtz (IPPP Durham)\n\nThis workshop\, hosted at the
  IPPP in Durham and supported by the PRISMA++ Cluster of Excellence at JGU
  Mainz\, continues a series of meetings on Effective Theories for Nonpert
 urbative Physics previously held at CERN and MITP\, Mainz. Its goal is to 
 further develop a growing and interdisciplinary community focused on const
 ructing and exploiting effective descriptions of nonperturbative dynamics.
  A central theme is the interplay between different frameworks\, and the e
 xtent to which they offer complementary insights into regimes where conven
 tional perturbative expansions break down. The workshop will place particu
 lar emphasis on fostering new connections across subfields\, including amo
 ng early career researchers.\nStrong coupling and other nonperturbative re
 gimes arise generically in quantum field theory\, yet remain comparatively
  less well understood than their perturbative counterparts. Developing con
 trolled and quantitative descriptions of nonperturbative phenomena is ther
 efore an important objective\, both in its own right and for its implicati
 ons across a wide range of areas. The workshop will highlight the wide var
 iety of qualitative behaviours that emerge in such regimes\, and the exten
 t to which they can be captured and organised using effective theoretical 
 frameworks.\nWe envision the thematic focus of talks and discussions to in
 clude:\n\nPerturbation theory at large quantum numbers and all-orders stru
 ctures\nTunnelling phenomena and false vacuum decay at zero and finite tem
 perature\nHamiltonian truncation and related Hamiltonian approaches\nTopol
 ogical objects and their phenomenology (instantons\, sphalerons\, strings\
 , domain walls)\nNonperturbative phenomena in quantum field theories relev
 ant for phenomenology and model building\, including those studied on the 
 lattice\nInterfaces with emerging methods\, including quantum computing an
 d quantum simulation\, as tools for accessing nonperturbative dynamics\n\n
 The programme will consist of a mix of research talks and guided discussio
 ns\, with ample time dedicated to informal collaboration building and expl
 oration of new ideas. A central goal of the workshop is to encourage cross
 talk between communities that do not typically interact closely\, and to c
 atalyse new ideas and collaborations aimed at tackling nonperturbative pro
 blems from multiple perspectives.\nConfirmed invited speakers (updated Jun
