SCIENTIFIC RATIONALE

Galaxy evolution is a multi-faceted field that encompasses the physics of star formation and black holes, feedback mechanisms, the baryon cycle between galaxies and the intergalactic medium, and large-scale structure formation. The interplay between these processes shapes the diverse properties of galaxies observed across cosmic time. As new observational facilities and advanced simulations continue to refine our understanding, integrating knowledge from a broad range of approaches—including observations, theoretical studies, and numerical modeling—remains essential for constructing a comprehensive picture of galaxy formation and evolution.

With this motivation, we established the Galaxy Evolution Workshop series as a sustained platform to provide researchers with opportunities to present their latest findings, discuss emerging topics, and shape the future of the galactic science community. In particular, we aim to create a supportive environment for early-career researchers. Initially launched as a domestic meeting in Japan, the workshop expanded into an international event in 2021, when Taiwan and Korea joined as co-organizers starting with the 7th workshop. Since then, it has played a crucial role in fostering the growth of the East Asian galaxy research community.

This year, the 11th Galaxy Evolution Workshop will be hosted at Nagoya University, Japan. While we welcome contributed presentations on all aspects of galactic and extragalactic science, we also set a focused theme each year to facilitate the exchange of the latest research and promote in-depth discussions.  For the 2025 workshop, our focused theme is "Emergence of Supermassive Black Holes", one of the most exciting and rapidly evolving areas in extragalactic astronomy. We are pleased to invite leading researchers who have made remarkable contributions to this field as keynote speakers. Additionally, we encourage submissions for contributed talks related to this theme.

We look forward to engaging discussions and new insights at the 11th Galaxy Evolution Workshop in Nagoya!
