This school is intended to provide an overview about a variety of topic centered around the problem of cosmic-ray transport in the Galaxy and non-thermal diffuse emissions.  
We will provide both dedicated seminars and hands-on sessions on the modeling and computation of cosmic-ray propagation and the correlated non-thermal emissions in different astrophysical environments. In particular, the event will feature a detailed presentation of the state-of-the-art theoretical and numerical tools to calculate relevant astro-particle quantities (production of gamma-ray, radio or neutrino emission, as well as the signals produced by dark matter), especially focused on the broad applicability of the DRAGON2 code.

This event will be held at the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Madrid (Spain) from October 8th to October 10th 2025. The organizing committee of the workshop will be composed by the current main developers of the code: Daniele Gaggero (senior researcher at INFN Pisa), Silvio Sergio Cerri (senior researcher at Lagrange Laboratory - Observatoire Côte d'Azur, in Nice) and Pedro De la Torre Luque (Juan de la Cierva postdoc at UAM and IFT), along with Miguel Ángel Sánchez-Conde (associate professor at UAM and the IFT).

The school will have a duration of three days, in which the first two days will be dedicated to lectures (during the morning), covering cosmic-ray related physics  (astrophysical plasmas, particle interactions, computational techniques, etc) and discussing the status of current observations of Galactic diffuse emissions (radio, X-ray, neutrino and gamma-ray diffuse backgrounds) and hands-on sessions (during he afternoon), while the third day will be dedicated to a number of invited talks about the use of diffuse emissions for indirect dark matter searches and the DRAGON2 code beyond the study of cosmic-ray propagation.
