The joint INT/N3AS workshop 24-89W “EOS measurements in the era of next-generation gravitational-wave detectors” was held from Aug 26 - Sep 6 2024, covering topics such as ab-initio calculations of the equation of state of neutron-star matter, insights from neutron skin measurements and heavy ion collisions, the composition of neutron star cores, proto- and postmerger neutron stars, and multimessenger probes of neutron star structure. Lively discussions bringing together expertise from nuclear theory, experiment and astrophysics were held each afternoon. Thought was given to challenges and opportunities for learning about the neutron star EOS over the next decade. Closer collaboration between nuclear physicists and astrophysicists is needed to make the most of the constraining power of forthcoming observations and experiments.
