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\, continues a series of meetings on Effective Theories for
  Nonperturbative Physics previously held at CERN and MITP\, Mainz. Its goa
 l is to further develop a growing and interdisciplinary community focused 
 on constructing and exploiting effective descriptions of nonperturbative d
 ynamics. A central theme is the interplay between different frameworks\, a
 nd the extent to which they offer complementary insights into regimes wher
 e conventional perturbative expansions break down. The workshop will place
  particular emphasis on fostering new connections across subfields\, inclu
 ding among early career researchers.\nStrong coupling and other nonperturb
 ative regimes arise generically in quantum field theory\, yet remain compa
 ratively less well understood than their perturbative counterparts. Develo
 ping controlled and quantitative descriptions of nonperturbative phenomena
  is therefore an important objective\, both in its own right and for its i
 mplications across a wide range of areas. The workshop will highlight the 
 wide variety of qualitative behaviours that emerge in such regimes\, and t
 he extent to which they can be captured and organised using effective theo
 retical frameworks.\nWe envision the thematic focus of talks and discussio
 ns to include:\n\nPerturbation theory at large quantum numbers and all-ord
 ers structures\nTunnelling phenomena and false vacuum decay at zero and fi
 nite temperature\nHamiltonian truncation and related Hamiltonian approache
 s\nTopological objects and their phenomenology (instantons\, sphalerons\, 
 strings\, domain walls)\nNonperturbative phenomena in quantum field theori
 es relevant for phenomenology and model building\, including those studied
  on the lattice\nInterfaces with emerging methods\, including quantum comp
 uting and quantum simulation\, as tools for accessing nonperturbative dyna
 mics\n\nThe programme will consist of a mix of research talks and guided d
 iscussions\, with ample time dedicated to informal collaboration building 
 and exploration of new ideas. A central goal of the workshop is to encoura
 ge crosstalk between communities that do not typically interact closely\, 
 and to catalyse new ideas and collaborations aimed at tackling nonperturba
 tive problems from multiple perspectives.\nConfirmed invited speakers (upd
