Powders & Grains 2025 will cover a range of oral talks and posters addressing both fundamental and applied scientific problems in granular media and suspensions, including:

1. Rheology and constitutive modelling of granular media
2. Kinetic theory of granular materials: granular gas, gas-solid suspension with cohesive & charged particles
3. Jamming, rigidity and shear-thickening transitions
4. Polydispersity, segregation, and pattern formation
5. Geophysical (sand dune, avalanche, ..), environmental (dust storm, aerosols,..) and planetary (accretion disk, impact cratering) granular processes
6. Geomaterials (soil, rock, concrete & minerals)
7. Particulate multiphase flows (fluidization, sediment transport, ..) and porous media
8. Particle-based numerical methods (DEM, MD, DSMC, MPM, Fast Spectral with AI / ML Technique)
9. Experimental methods for granular mechanics
10. Emerging topics: Additive manufacturing & metamaterials, microgravity, tribo-charging and active particles
11. Any others
