  Madrid)\, Thomas Steingasser (IFT)\, Álvaro Cendal García (Universidad 
 Complutense de Madrid)\, Tomás Mendes (Universidad Complutense de Madrid)

  Rubio (Instituto de Física de Partículas y del Cosmos)\n\n\nThe study o
 f vacuum stability and phase transitions plays an important role in severa
 l areas of particle physics and cosmology. Questions related to the struct
 ure of the Standard Model Higgs potential\, the evolution of the early Uni
 verse\, and the properties of fundamental interactions are closely connect
 ed to these phenomena.\nThis conference aims to bring together researchers
  working on theoretical\, phenomenological\, and computational aspects of 
 vacuum stability and phase transitions\, fostering discussion and collabor
 ation across these closely related fields.\nTopics of interest include\, b
 ut are not limited to:\n\nElectroweak vacuum stability and metastability\n
 Vacuum decay and tunneling in quantum field theory\nFinite-temperature fie
 ld theory\nCosmological phase transitions\nGravitational-wave signals from
  the early Universe\nBeyond-the-Standard-Model scenarios and Higgs-sector 
 extensions\nNon-equilibrium field dynamics and real-time simulations\nTopo
 logical defects and phase-transition relics\nInflationary and post-inflati
 onary phase transitions\nApplications to dark matter\, baryogenesis\, and 
 cosmology\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers\n\nM. de Angelis — Universidad Complutense
