DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Meng-Ru Wu (Institute of Physics\, Academia Sinica)\
 , Di-Lun Yang (Academia Sinica)\, Anthony Francis (National Yang Ming Chia
 o Tung University)\n\nFrom proton tomography to the explosive astrophysica
 l events to the creation of matter in the early universe\, the core questi
 ons to understand are in nuclear physics. Large scale experimental facilit
 ies\, such as the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC)\, radioactive ion beam exper
 iments\, and astrophysical observatories need support and guidance from ph
 ysics theory to have their intended impact. With experimental milestones c
 oming soon as well as the increasing global focus on multi-messenger astro
 physics and the QCD phase diagram\, 2026 represents a timely opportunity t
 o consolidate regional theoretical expertise in nuclear physics. \nGiven 
 the call to action by the broad community\, the nuclear physics theory com
 munities in Taiwan and South Korea have gone ahead to spearhead cutting ed
 ge research:  The community in Taiwan is heavily invested in the key area
 s of the research of proton tomography through distribution functions at t
 he parton level\, the research of the heavy element production and nuclear
  equation of states\, and the study of heavy-ion collisions through modeli
 ng and non-perturbative calculations to understand the creation of matter 
 in extreme environments. With similar efforts undergoing in South Korea th
 ere is significant potential to exchange knowledge\, open new dialogues\, 
 work together and showcase our respective expertise areas in two growing c
 ommunities. The complementary strengths of Taiwan and South Korea\, partic
 ularly in hadron structure\, nuclear astrophysics\, lattice QCD\, and dens
 e matter theory\, provide a natural and strategically aligned foundation f
 or sustained bilateral collaboration.  In this three-day workshop we will
  have sessions for these three fields\, i.e. hadron tomography\, nuclear a
 strophysics\, and heavy-ion collisions. Through dedicated interaction sess
 ions we will facilitate and encourage discussions among all participants. 
 Furthermore\, we foresee keynote lectures aimed at high-level introduction
 s by advanced researchers as well as invited lectures by promising young r
 esearchers. For invited and keynote lectures an emphasis will be put on ex
 perts from Taiwanese and South Korean affiliations to further underline th
 e nature and goals of the workshop\, with excellent international speakers
  adding to the mix by adding further\, non-locally available\, expertise. 
 In the morning a rapporteur will briefly summarize the outcomes of the pre
 vious day to ensure continuity and boost productivity.  A focused size of
  approximately 40 participants ensures in-depth scientific interaction whi
 le maintaining a high-level\, discussion-oriented format that maximizes me
 aningful exchange and collaboration. Organizers :Anthony Francis (Nation
