DESCRIPTION:Overview:\nOne of the most critical issues in modern astronomy
  and astrophysics is understanding when and how supermassive black holes (
 SMBHs) formed and evolved throughout cosmic history. The Hyper Suprime-Cam
  Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP) has been highly productive in this fie
 ld\, yielding a wide variety of scientific results\, from studies of host 
 galaxies in the local Universe to discoveries of the most distant quasars.
  In addition\, with the advent of wide-area imaging and spectroscopic surv
 eys from Euclid\, Rubin/LSST\, and Roman\, AGN science is expected to adva
 nce significantly\, particularly through statistical studies and searches 
 for rare populations.This conference aims to share recent insights into th
 e growth history of SMBHs derived from HSC data\, including both SSP and o
 pen-use observations\, and to discuss strategies for extending this legacy
  into the future. In particular\, science operations of the Prime Focus Sp
 ectrograph (PFS) and the PFS-SSP began in March 2025\, and PFS is expected
  to provide millions of galaxy and AGN spectra in the coming years. This c
 onference will therefore provide an excellent opportunity to share scienti
 fic results based on initial PFS data\, including open-use and SSP observa
 tions\, and to discuss the spectroscopic properties of AGN.We invite all r
 esearchers who lead or are interested in AGN studies based on wide-field s
 urvey data to participate in this conference. Presentations on any AGN sci
 ence or observing proposals using these facilities are welcome.The key top
 ics to be covered in the conference include\, but are not limited to:- AGN
  results from HSC-SSP data- Observing status and initial science results f
 rom PFS-AGN\, including open-use\, SSP\, and community/observatory filler 
 programs- Overview\, progress updates\, and value-added catalog on PFS-SSP
  GE/CO AGN science- Overview and progress updates on broader science cases
  in PFS-GE and PFS-CO\, including synergies with AGN studies- Current stat
 us of software and hardware\, and identification of challenges for AGN sci
