Modern astrophysics increasingly relies on the integration of diverse approaches, including multi-wavelength observations, advanced statistical methodologies, and instrumentation development. While significant progress has been made within individual subfields, opportunities for systematic interaction across traditionally separated domains remain limited. This fragmentation can hinder the formation of unified frameworks necessary to address complex astrophysical problems.

The SYNAPSE workshop aims to establish a cross-disciplinary platform that connects researchers working on galaxies, galaxy clusters, stars, exoplanets, and instrumentation, as well as those in related fields such as particle and nuclear physics. By fostering direct communication and collaboration across these areas, the workshop seeks to promote a more coherent understanding of astrophysical phenomena.

A key objective of this meeting is to stimulate the development of new, collaborative research directions that can evolve into competitive joint proposals. Through focused discussions and the formation of new professional connections, SYNAPSE is designed to function as a catalyst for future large-scale scientific initiatives.
