 now available!\n\nScientific Vision\nFilaments are a fundamental part of t
 he cosmic web. They connect galaxies\, groups\, and clusters across a wide
  range of scales\, and they contain a large fraction of the matter and bar
 yons in the Universe. Yet\, compared to haloes\, galaxies\, and clusters\,
  filaments are still poorly characterised.\nThe goal of this conference is
  to bring together different communities working on filamentary structures
  of the multi-scale web\, and to reach a better understanding of the physi
 cal role of filaments in the Universe. What do filaments tell us about str
 ucture formation? How do they affect galaxies? How do baryons behave outsi
 de haloes? Which filament properties are robustly observable? And can the 
 cosmic web become a new tool for cosmology?\nConference Objectives\nThis c
 onference is designed to bring together researchers working on filaments f
 rom different perspectives\, spanning theory\, simulations\, observations\
 , reconstruction\, galaxy evolution\, gas physics\, and cosmology.\nIn par
 ticular\, the meeting aims to:\n\ndiscuss recent advances in our understan
 ding of how filaments form\, evolve\, and connect different environments i
 n the cosmic web\;\nidentify which filament and cosmic web observables can
  be used to test cosmology and fundamental physics\;\ndiscuss how gas and 
 baryons are distributed in filaments across cosmic time\, and how their ph
 ysical properties evolve with redshift\;\nunderstand how the cosmic web af
 fects galaxy and halo properties\, including star formation\, morphology\,
  gas content\, angular momentum\, and assembly history\;\nconnect large-sc
 ale filaments with small-scale gas accretion\, CGM physics\, and galaxy fu
 elling\;\nprovide an updated view of how we map\, reconstruct\, detect\, a
 nd characterise the web in simulations and observations\, in light of new 
 surveys\, and recent developments in statistical\, topological\, and machi
 ne-learning tools\; asses the robustness of these methods across tracers a
 nd scales\;\nidentify the main theoretical\, observational\, and methodolo
 gical challenges for the next generation of filament studies.\n\n \n\n\n\
 nWe hope this meeting will serve not only as a forum for sharing recent re
 sults\, but also as a discussion-oriented space where different communitie
 s can exchange ideas\, build new collaborations\, and develop a shared lan
 guage and toolset.\nMain Science Themes [updated]\n\nCosmic Web Foundation
