Abstract: About half of particle-bound nuclei have an odd number of nucleons. About one quarter more are odd-odd, meaning they have an odd number of neutrons and an odd number of protons. In this context, it is about time to shift the 70-odd-year focus of theories using nuclear energy density functionals (EDFs) away from the remaining one-quarter of even-even nuclei. This White Paper aims to present open, unresolved problems and promising research directions in nuclear EDFs that were discussed during the 2024 ESNT workshop in Saclay, France, on ``The microscopic modelling of odd-mass and odd-odd nuclei''.
