What is the origin of space\, time\, and matter? What happens when matter is subject toextrem e conditions of pressure and temperature? Can we visualize and control the nano-world? Particle accelerators and light sources have become instrument al inaddressing these long-standing scientific challenges.

Becau se they can sustain muchhigher electric fields than conventional materials \, plasmas promise a new generationof more compact\, sustainable\, and les s expensive particle accelerators and lightsources. They are a high resear ch priority in the 2020 update of the European Strategyfor Particle Physic s and are being progressively incorporated into the main activities oflarg e-scale laser facilities and accelerator laboratories.

The intri nsic miniaturization inplasma acceleration brings unique challenges. Addre ssing them is an essential part ofthe research agenda. These challenges ar e multidisciplinary\, and their solutiondepends on an integrated approach combining theory\, simulation\, and experimentalphysics.

This ta lk will present an overview of these challenges\, along with recentaccompl ishments and perspectives for the future of plasma-based accelerators andl ight sources for applications in high-energy physics\, high-energy density science\, andphoton science.
