Intense magnetic fields have played a central role in the discovery and exploration of exciting quantum phenomena in novel materials. What are the prospects for new discoveries 5-10 years from now if higher fields become available? The workshop will bring experts in relevant disciplines and host approximately 15 talks describing opportunities that will open up in the physics and chemistry of quantum matter in a large-scale instrument/facility that includes high magnetic fields (e.g., 60 Tesla DC field,150 pulsed field). We envisage 2 days of short talks with ample time allotted for questions. Speakers are urged to think outside the box and freely speculate about new possibilities. At the end of the workshop, a panel will lead a general discussion identifying the most exciting directions of high-field research. An important task is listing the major scientific advances that would critically depend on a 60-Tesla DC magnet, or a 150-Tesla pulsed-field magnet, or a different large-scale instrument/facility that includes high magnetic fields. Are there compelling scientific reasons to select one over the others?
