The purpose of the workshop was to review the electronics for LHC experiments and to identify and 
encourage common efforts for the development of electronics within and between the different LHC 
experiments and 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
·Electronics for Calorimeters
·Electronics for Muons
·Trigger Electronics
·Data Links and Power Systems
·Grounding and Shielding
·Testing and Quality Assurance
·Detector Control Systems 
·Data Acquisition

The welcome address was given by Peter Sharp, Chairman of the programme Committee, by Daniel Huss, 
Director of IReS, Chairman of the local organising committee.
