The purpose of the workshop was to review the electronics for LHC experiments, to identify areas and encourage common efforts for the development of electronics within and between the different LHC experiments, to promote collaboration in the engineering and physics communities involved in the LHC activities.

The program of the workshop included both invited plenary talks and parallel working groups for contributed papers. The focus of the workshop was research and recent development in the following topics:

· Electronics for trackers
· Radiation and magnetic field tolerant electronics systems
· Optoelectronics
· Electronics for muons
· Trigger electronics
· Electronics for calorimetry
· Data Acquisition / Detector Control System
· Grounding shielding cooling and alignment

The welcome address was given by Peter Sharp, Chairman of the programme Committee, by Christian Bohm, Chairman of the local organising committee and by Ulf Wahlgren, Director of the Stockholm Center for Physics, Astronomy and Biotechnology .
