The section "Advances in Photopolarimetry and Spectropolarimetry of Solar System Small Bodies" highlights recent progress and breakthroughs in the application of these techniques to study small bodies, including asteroids, comets, moons, trans-Neptunian objects, and interplanetary dust. Photopolarimetry and spectropolarimetry provide critical insights into surface textures, particle sizes, porosities, and compositions, offering constraints on the physical, compositional, and dynamical evolution of these objects. We welcome abstract submissions on advancements in observational, numerical, and laboratory techniques, as well as innovative approaches for extracting and analyzing data, including new methodologies in photometric, polarimetric, and spectropolarimetric observations, advances in modeling, data reduction algorithms, and analysis pipelines, including machine learning, laboratory measurements of optical, polarimetric, and scattering properties, and software or web-based tools for collaborative data sharing and interpretation. This section aims to foster interdisciplinary discussions and encourage novel approaches that enhance our understanding of the physical properties, activity, and evolution of small bodies in the Solar System.
