<div class="elementToProof"><span style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The eROSITA data offer the opportunity to study extremely energetic events across vast
scales in the Universe, from accreting binary systems at stellar scales to 10-million-degree shocks driven by galaxy cluster mergers. However, the full scientific exploitation of the eROSITA data requires a multi-wavelength approach. eROSITA-DE will release
data from the first all-sky survey on 31 January 2024. For those unfamiliar with the AAL/eROSITA-DE collaboration, the workshop is an excellent opportunity to learn about the data and brainstorm new projects that combine Australian data with the deeper, still
proprietary eROSITA data. The workshop will include a variety of presentations and opportunities for discussion and networking.</span></div>
