| Summary:

Neutron stars are versatile in their application to studying various
important aspects of fundamental physics, in particular strong-field gravity
tests and the equation of state for super-dense nuclear matter at low
temperatures. However, in many cases these two objectives are degenerate to
each other. We discuss how pulsar timing and gravitational waves provide
accurate measurements of neutron star systems and how to effectively break the
degeneracy using tools like universal relations. We also present perspectives
on future opportunities and challenges in the field of neutron star physics.
