DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Vlasios Petousis (IEAP CTU in Prague)\, Martin Vesel
 ský (IEAP - CTU in Prague)\, Charalampos Moustakidis (Aristotle Universit
 y of Thessaloniki)\n\nBeyond well-established astrophysical objects such a
 s black holes and neutron stars\, a variety of new hypothetical compact ob
 jects have been proposed as potential astrophysical entities. These object
 s\, commonly referred to as Exotic Compact Objects (ECOs)\, represent theo
 retical equilibrium configurations that arise in the strong-gravity regime
  and involve novel physical phenomena.\nIn general\, their properties have
  not yet been fully explored or understood\, and there is currently no def
 initive observational evidence confirming their existence in nature. ECOs 
 are deeply connected to fundamental open questions in modern nuclear astro
 physics\, high-energy physics\, and gravitation\, as they often invoke new
  states of matter\, modified gravitational dynamics\, or physics beyond th
 e Standard Model.\nThe scientific agenda of the ECOs workshop is focused o
 n the:\n\nThe nature of the small compact objects like XTE J1814-338 and H
 ESS J1731-347\nDark Matter Admixed Neutron Stars (DANSs)\nHybrid neutron s
 tars (hadron - quark phase transition)\nStrange quark stars\nHyperon stars
  \nBoson stars\n\nThe goal of the ECOs Workshop is to bring together expe
 rts in the field of the astrophysical compact objects\, from whom the part
 icipants (experts\, young postdoctoral researchers and PhD candidates) can
  learn. In addition\, the workshop hopes to build up a creative environmen
 t supporting the formation of new ideas and collaborations. \nKeynote spe
