 ourney of star and planet formation\nFrom the molecular cloud collapse to 
 the emergence of habitable worlds\, star and planet formation are among th
 e most fundamental processes shaping our Universe. Understanding how stars
  ignite\, how planetary systems assemble around them\, and why such system
 s display an astonishing diversity remains a big challenge in astronomy.\n
 The multifaceted and multiscale nature of star and planet formation render
 s it a complex scientific venture. Stars are born within dense\, dusty reg
 ions of molecular clouds\, where gravity competes with turbulence\, magnet
 ic fields\, radiation and feedback from nearby young stars. These environm
 ents are opaque at visible wavelengths\, making the earliest phases of sta
 r formation notoriously difficult to observe. As a star grows\, it is surr
 ounded by a rotating disk of gas and dust - the birthplace of planets. Wit
 hin these protoplanetary disks\, microscopic grains collide and stick\, ev
 entually forming planets. How this growth proceeds efficiently\, how disks
  evolve and disperse\, and how planetary architectures are sculpted by mig
 ration\, chemistry and stellar radiation are still open questions.\nNevert
 heless\, in recent years\, the field has undergone a revolution thanks to 
 high-resolution observations from telescopes such as ALMA and JWST\, which
  have revelaed intricate disk substructures - rings\, gaps\, spirals and a
 symmetries - hinting at ongoing planet formation at the same time as the s
 tar formation occurs. At this regard\, advances in numerical simulations a
 lso allow us to connect small-scale physical processes with the large-scal
 e environment evolution of star-forming regions delivering a complete and 
 more nuanced picture of how stars and planets come to be.\nThis symposium 
 aims to bring together researchers in the star and planet formation fields
  to discuss the latest observational and theoretical progress. Building on
  the success of the previous symposium “On the Origin of stars and thei
 r planets: A holistic view” held in 2024 during the XVII SEA scientific 
 meeting\, this symposium aims to promote and strenghten collaborations and
  synergies between different communities aiming to understand the origin o
 f stars and planets.\n \n\n \n\nhttps://workshops.ice.csic.es/event/8/
