 Cosmological simulations have become one of the central tools for understa
 nding galaxy formation and evolution. They connect physical models across 
 an enormous dynamic range\, from cosmological large-scale structure to bla
 ck holes. Yet many of the most important advances in the field depend not 
 only on new physical models\, but also on the numerical methods\, algorith
 ms\, and simulation codes that make these calculations possible.\n \nHow 
 do different numerical methods affect galaxy formation predictions? Which 
 aspects of feedback\, black hole growth\, cosmic rays\, magnetic fields\, 
 and multiphase gas are robust across codes? What are the current bottlenec
 ks in resolution\, dynamic range\, subgrid modeling\, and computational pe
 rformance? And how can new algorithmic developments\, including machine le
 arning and AI-assisted methods\, contribute to the next generation of simu
 lations?\nConference Objectives\nThe goal of this conference is to bring t
 ogether experts working directly on the development\, implementation\, and
  application of numerical methods for cosmological (magneto)hydrodynamical
  simulations of galaxy formation\, broadly focusing on the following scien
 ce themes:\n \n\nGalaxy formation across cosmic time: high-redshift and l
 ow-redshift simulations\nThe CGM\, IGM\, and baryon cycling in cosmologica
 l environments\nExplicit ISM modeling\, star formation\, and stellar feedb
 ack\nBlack holes\, AGN feedback\, and intermediate- to supermassive black 
 hole growth\nNon-thermal processes: cosmic rays\, magnetic fields\, and pl
 asma physics\nCode development\, numerical optimization\, and high-perform
 ance computing\nAI\, machine learning\, and new algorithmic approaches for
  cosmological simulations\n\n \nWe aim to create a focused\, discussion-o
 riented meeting where different simulation communities can compare approac
 hes\, identify shared challenges\, and exchange ideas on the technical and
  physical ingredients that shape modern simulations. In particular\, the m
 eeting aims to:\n\ndiscuss recent advances in numerical methods for cosmol
 ogical hydrodynamical and magnetohydrodynamical simulations\;\ncompare the
  strengths\, limitations\, and systematic uncertainties of different simul
 ation techniques and code architectures\;\nidentify which predictions of g
 alaxy formation simulations are robust across numerical implementations\;\
 ndiscuss the modeling of key physical processes in galaxy evolution\;\ncon
 nect simulations of different regimes\, from high to low redshift and from
  the intergalactic to the circumgalactic medium\;\nexamine the challenges 
 of explicitly resolving the interstellar medium and coupling small-scale p
 hysics to cosmological environments\;\nexplore recent developments in nume
 rical optimization\, high-performance computing\, code scalability\, and t
 he direct use of machine learning or AI in simulation workflows\;\nidentif
 y the main theoretical\, numerical\, and computational challenges for the 
 next generation of cosmological galaxy formation simulations.\n\n \n\nInv
