DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Krzysztof Mekala (University of Warsaw)\n\nAmong pro
 posed future projects for particle physics\, the Muon Collider has recentl
 y attracted significant attention. By combining features of both electron
 –positron and hadron machines\, it offers a potentially powerful environ
 ment for exploring high-energy interactions. While technological challenge
 s remain\, recent studies suggest none are fundamentally prohibitive\, mot
 ivating continued research in this direction.\nIn this talk\, I will brief
 ly introduce the Muon Collider in the context of the Update of the Europea
 n Strategy for Particle Physics and outline the physics opportunities it c
 ould offer. I will focus in particular on studies of electroweak interacti
 ons at previously unexplored energy scales. After discussing the role of v
 ector boson fusion in this regime\, I will review the ideas of the colline
 ar approximation and electroweak factorisation. Finally\, I will present t
 he emerging framework of Electroweak Parton Distribution Functions and dis
 cuss their relevance for describing high-energy processes.\n \n \n \n
