This workshop will be focused on making contact between developments in string theory and phenomenological particle physics and cosmology. The current experimental and observational landscape is ripe with ongoing and planned observations searching for dark matter, the nature of dark energy, and the history of the universe. At the same time, theoretical and computational advances in string theory have made it possible to ascertain the phenomenology of effective theories derived from string theory in the weakly coupled regime. By bringing together experts in particle phenomenology, cosmology, and string theory, this workshop aims to identify the most promising upcoming experiments and observations that will shed light on fundamental questions, and to develop new directions and strategies for string theory research in the coming decade, in anticipation of such data-driven insights.
