Galaxy formation and evolution is a crucial laboratory for testing both our understanding of the complex physical processes involved within galaxies and the limits of the current LCDM model of structure formation. This requires models spanning from local, sub-parsec processes to large-scale cosmological environments. In this SF2A workshop, we aim to welcome presentations of results obtained using all the different techniques used to model galaxies, from non-collisional dynamics and N-body methods to hydrodynamical simulations at different scales and semi-analytical models. The goal of the workshop is notably to foster discussions on the synergies, limitations, and future directions of these models.

We particularly encourage students, postdocs, and young researchers in France or with ties to the French community to present their work. Presentations will be in English.
