DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Talvikki Hovatta (Turku Univ.)\, Ioannis Liodakis (F
 ORTH)\, Yuri Y. Kovalev (MPI für Radioastronomie)\, Minghui Xu (GFZ Potsd
 am)\, Andrei P. Lobanov (MPI für Radioastronomie)\, J. Anton Zensus (MPI 
 für Radioastronomie)\, Eduardo Ros\n\n\nThe workshop “5xERC on Jets”
  is a scientific meeting to be held at Ringberg Castle in Kreuth\, south o
 f Munich\, from 22–24 October 2025. This event brings together the team
 s of five ERC-funded projects—M2FINDERS\, ASTROGEODESY\, BOOTES\, PARTIC
 LES\, and MuSES—which\, while distinct in methodology and focus\, all co
 nverge on the study of relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN).\

 se projects tackle complementary aspects of jet physics\, including magne
 tic field structures\, time-domain optical polarization\, multi-messenger 
 particle composition\, high-resolution VLBI imaging\, and astrometric geod
 esy. The workshop provides a platform for sharing recent results\, fosteri
 ng collaboration\, and addressing open challenges at the intersection of V
 LBI science\, high-energy astrophysics\, and jet composition studies.\nThe
  meeting also includes a select group of external experts and collaborator
 s to broaden perspectives and deepen the scientific dialogue. Participatio
 n is by invitation only.\n\nThese projects have received funding from the 
 European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 
 research and innovation programme.  The details are:ERC Advanced Grant -
