Up to now science has failed to identify what makes up to 85% of the matter of the Universe. Elucidating the nature of dark matter (DM) constitutes a key challenge in modern physics. MultiDark is a Research Network supported by the Spanish Research Agency, in which theoretical and experimental groups with particle physicists, astrophysicists and cosmologists from 15 Spanish universities and research institutes, experts in astroparticle physics, join efforts to take up this task from a multidisciplinary perspective. This workshop is the first of the new Network, which started in June 2023, and the 20th since the birth of the MultiDark community back in 2009.

In its original form, MultiDark was an excellence project in which most of the Spanish community working in the field of DM was involved. The project was funded by the CONSOLIDER-Ingenio 2010 Programme for a period of 5 years, starting December 2009, and extended 2.5 years more, until June 2017. MultiDark consisted of 11 theoretical and experimental groups with particle physicists, astrophysicists and cosmologists from 18 Spanish universities and research institutes. It also included 11 senior researchers from foreign institutions. In total, the project involved about 120 researchers, more than 20 of which were hired as postdocs, Ph.D. students, or technicians.
