This workshop brings together complementary perspectives on gravity, with a special focus on black holes and gravitational-wave phenomenology. The program spans both theoretical and observational fronts: from the present status and future potential of gravitational-wave detectors, to their use as probes of fundamental physics. We will discuss the intrinsic properties of compact objects through tidal Love numbers, quasi-normal modes, late-time tails, and memory effects, emphasizing their connections to symmetries, effective field theory, and nonlinear dynamics. Gravitational lensing and black hole scattering will be explored as additional windows into the strong-field regime. The workshop will also address the influence of astrophysical environments and the possible imprints of exotic compact objects and extensions of general relativity. By weaving together these themes, the meeting aims to foster dialogue across communities and advance our understanding of gravity in its most extreme regimes.
