DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Nic Walton (Institute of Astronomy)\n\nMeeting Ratio
 nale\nThe Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a proposed next-gene
 ration facility for massively multiplexed optical spectroscopy. With its w
 ide field of view\, large collecting area\, high multiplex\, and integral-
 field capability\, WST will enable transformative surveys across cosmology
  and large-scale structure\, galaxy evolution\, the CGM/IGM\, high-redshif
 t galaxies and reionization\, black holes and AGN\, Galactic archaeology\,
  resolved stellar populations\, time-domain and multi-messenger astrophysi
 cs\, Solar System science\, and survey/data-analysis methodology.\nThis Ca
 mbridge workshop will bring together researchers from the WST community\, 
 the UK\, and the wider international community to explore the science pote
 ntial of WST and shape future engagement with the project. The meeting wil
 l highlight key science drivers\, survey strategies\, synergies with facil
 ities such as WEAVE\, MOONS\, DESI\, 4MOST\, Gaia\, PLATO\, Euclid\, Rubin
 /LSST\, Roman\, JWST\, ALMA\, SKA\, and CMB experiments\, and opportunitie
 s for community participation.\nKey Discussion Topics\n\nScience prioritie
 s for WST  \nSurvey strategy and design  \nSynergies with current and fu
 ture facilities  \nInstrument and technical development  \nTheory\, simu
 lations\, and data infrastructure  \nUK and international community engag
 ement  \nPathways to participation  \nTraining and early-career involvem
 ent\n\nAcknowledgements\nFunding support (partial) to the meeting is provi
