Collective dynamics in nuclear collisions will study the space-time dynamics of hot and dense QCD matter created in heavy-ion collisions. By using non-equilibrium QCD transport, hydrodynamics, and hadronic transport at early, intermediate, and late times, respectively, it will establish a theoretical description of all dynamical stages of a heavy-ion collision, in order to connect fundamental properties of QCD (equation of state, transport coefficients) to experimental observables. We will emphasize the coupled evolution of conserved charges throughout all dynamical stages and the sensitivity of experimental observables to initial conditions, early-time dynamics, and transport coefficients. We will also investigate the range of applicability of the hydrodynamic description.
