--------------------------------------------------------------- FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT - DECEMBER 2025 The study of the transient Universe is experiencing a golden age, driven by the development of new facilities and advanced observational techniques. Exceptional scientific opportunities are emerging thanks to instruments such as the SVOM and Einstein Probe (EP) high-energy missions, the Vera Rubin Observatory, and many others. The conference will focus on a wide range of topics, from observations, theory, and modelling of the diverse population of astronomical transients, to multi-messenger astronomy, as well as the instrumentation, techniques, and data-management approaches required to advance transient science. The goal is to explore the common ground shared by different transient phenomena—whether in observational strategies, the underlying physical processes, the progenitor systems that lead to transients, or the influence of the host-galaxy environment.
