DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Krzysztof Mekala (Siegen U.)\n\nAmong proposed futur
 e projects for particle physics\, the Muon Collider has recently attracte
 d significant attention. By combining features of both electron–positron
  and hadron machines\, it offers a potentially powerful environment for ex
 ploring high-energy interactions. While technological challenges remain\, 
 recent studies suggest none are fundamentally prohibitive\, motivating con
 tinued research in this direction.\nIn this talk\, I will briefly introduc
 e the Muon Collider in the context of the Update of the European Strategy 
 for Particle Physics and outline the physics opportunities it could offer.
  I will focus in particular on studies of electroweak interactions at prev
 iously unexplored energy scales. After discussing the role of vector boson
  fusion in this regime\, I will review the ideas of the collinear approxim
 ation and electroweak factorisation. Finally\, I will present the emerging
  framework of Electroweak Parton Distribution Functions and discuss their 
 relevance for describing high-energy processes.\n\nhttps://indico.physik.u
