Universal scaling behaviors have been observed in a variety of strongly interacting systems, from nuclear binding to collective many-body properties of cold atoms. While it remains nebulous how these strongly coupled systems emerge from fundamental constituents, the peculiar patterns of these scaling symmetries connected seemingly different fields in a model-independent manner that demands a universal interpretation. Studying the universal behavior of few-to-many-body processes across the different fields can, in turn, yield new insights into strongly interacting, emergent phenomena. This workshop brings together experts representing the different areas to address this quickly growing and exciting line of research.
