DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to announce the upcoming Conference on the sc
 ience at the core of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry Mission (eX
 TP)\, dedicated to the rapidly advancing spectral-timing-polarimetry in X-
 ray astronomy and to discuss about the scientific vision of the eXTP missi
 on.The eXTP mission is an ambitious international space mission designed t
 o explore the most extreme environments in the Universe - probing matter u
 nder ultra-dense conditions\, testing the limits of gravity\, and unveilin
 g the physics of strongly magnetized systems. Now fully approved and enter
 ing its implementation phase\, eXTP is scheduled for launch in the early 2
 030.This conference will highlight the scientific opportunities of eXTP as
  presented in the newly released series of six updated white papers\, incl
 uding the overall mission overview (WP1) and five key science areas (WPs 2
 –6) (Science China special issue). \nThe sessions will explore eXTP’s
  capabilities to:    • Constrain the equation of state of ultra-dense 
 matter in neutron stars.    • Probe strong gravity and the inner accre
 tion regions around black holes through combined spectral\, timing\, and p
 olarimetric observations.    • Investigate quantum electrodynamics eff
 ects and radiative processes in extreme magnetic fields.    • Enable t
 ime-domain and multi-messenger astrophysics\, in synergy with future obser
 vatories across the electromagnetic and gravitational-wave spectrum.    
 • Serve as a world-class observatory\, providing groundbreaking data on 
 a wide range of galactic and extragalactic sources.\nThe conference will a
 lso include discussions on other science aspects relevant to eXTP and to o
 ther missions concepts developed to advance X-ray spectral-timing-polarime
 try in the next decade. It will also be an occasion to define the framewor
 k for community participation in the mission’s scientific operations.The
  program will consist of invited\, contributed\, and 3-minute flash talks.
  We warmly invite scientists from all areas of high-energy astrophysics\, 
 space instrumentation\, and theoretical modeling to join us in this pivota
 l meeting as we look ahead to the eXTP era.\nThe conference will take plac
 e from 31 August to 2 September 2026 at the Radisson Blu Marina Palace Hot
 el\, in Turku\, Finland. We kindly invite you to mark this event in your c
 alendar. Further details regarding the venue\, travel\, registration\, abs
 tract submission\, and fees can be found on the conference webpage at http
