DESCRIPTION:The philosophy behind the meeting is that galaxies are becomin
 g precision laboratories for fundamental physics. With current and forthco
 ming data from surveys and observatories such as Euclid\, LSST\, JWST\, SK
 A\, MaNGA and Gaia\, we are entering a period in which galaxy structure\, 
 dynamics\, lensing and satellite populations can be used to test the natur
 e of dark matter\, dark energy and gravity in regimes that are difficult t
 o access by other means. At the same time\, advances in simulations\, Baye
 sian forward modelling\, simulation-based inference and galaxy - halo conn
 ection modelling are making it possible to connect fundamental theory to c
 omplex galactic observables with increasing rigour.\nA central aim of the 
 workshop is to bring together communities that often work in parallel rath
 er than in concert: gravity theorists\, dark matter phenomenologists\, gal
 axy-formation modellers and observers. The meeting will focus on how these
  perspectives can be integrated into a coherent programme for using galaxi
 es to test physics beyond the standard model\, while also addressing the a
 strophysical and statistical systematics that make these tests challenging
 . The workshop will be a focused one-day meeting\, designed to encourage d
 iscussion as much as presentation.\n\nhttps://indico.global/event/18485/
