The natural resonance between synchrotron sources and high-pressure science has led to dramatic advances across surprisingly diverse scientific fields in previous decades. At present, major renewal programs are either underway or imminent at existing third-generation synchrotrons, and fouth-generation sources are just on the horizon. Given this context, now is a critical time to explore the full potential of high-pressure science at synchrotron sources. The goal of this workshop is to use the current state of the art as a starting point to explore the future of high pressure science. As part of the forward-looking theme of the workshop, the program will comprise both the future evolution of established techniques and entirely novel uses of the high pressure variable.
