In the last decade, thanks to the huge amount of measurements obtained with the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, a boost was given to the study of the properties of the quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions. Several observables and probes were used to this purpose: particle spectra, azimuthal anisotropies, nuclear modification factors, particle correlations, jets, heavy quarks. The presence of collective-like effects, resembling those typically ascribed to the presence of a quark-gluon plasma, emerged also in proton-nucleus and proton-proton collisions. Ultra-peripheral collisions marked a new direction to constrain nuclei PDF as well as to explore phenomena sensitive to new physics. The increase in luminosity, foreseen for the incoming RUN3 and RUN4 at the LHC, together with the upgrades of the various experiments, opens new possibilities to further investigate strongly-interacting matter in high-density systems and improve our understanding of aspects of Quantum Chromodynamics relevant in these extreme conditions. This workshop, which will be held in Padua on 25-26 November, aims at strengthening the collaboration and the discussion among experimental and theoretical italian physicists active in this field of research, sharpening the main objectives for future measurements and theoretical developments. The meeting lasts for one and a half day. Scheduled talks will be interleaved with slots with ample time for discussing new possible measurements, new models, new experiments and technological developments.
