DESCRIPTION:\nScientific rationale\nStrong gravitational lensing is enteri
 ng a new era. The coming decade will witness a revolution in both the numb
 er and diversity of gravitational lenses\, driven by transformational faci
 lities such as Euclid\, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory (LSST)\, the Square 
 Kilometre Array (SKA)\, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope\, and the fu
 ture time-domain and multi-messenger observatories. These facilities will 
 discover hundreds of thousands of new lenses while opening the door to ent
 irely new classes of lensed sources and scientific applications.\nBeyond t
 he traditional study of lensed galaxies and quasars\, strong lensing is ra
 pidly expanding into the time domain\, with lensed transients\, and\, even
 tually\, gravitational-wave events providing new opportunities to probe co
 smology\, dark matter\, and fundamental physics. At the same time\, the in
 creasingly high precision is enabling entirely new science\, from resolvin
 g individual stars at cosmological distances to directly measuring the sma
 ll scale distribution of dark matter\, studying galaxy evolution with extr
 eme magnification\, and testing gravity on cosmic scales.\nThe field is al
 so enriched by increasingly sophisticated lens modelling and statistical t
 echniques\, which are transforming how physical information can be extract
 ed from strong lenses found in large surveys.\nThis conference aims at bri
 nging together the strong lensing community to discuss the opportunities a
 nd challenges that will define strong gravitational lensing in the next de
 cade. By focusing on new surveys\, new sources\, new lenses\, and new scie
 nce\, the meeting aims to foster interactions to actively prepare for the 
 next generation of gravitational lensing discoveries.\n \nScientific orga
