The purposes of the workshop were:

to review electronics progress for the LHC experiments,
to represent results and original concepts for electronic research and development relevant to possible future upgrades of the LHC,
to present innovative electronic developments for other particle, astro-particle and space physics experiments,
to identify and encourage common efforts for the development of electronics within and between the different LHC experiments,
to promote collaboration in the relevant engineering and physics communities.

The conference program will include invited plenary talks and parallel sessions for contributed papers, complemented by poster presentations. Several sessions of the conference will be dedicated to topical issues where impromptu contributions from participants are encouraged.

The main subjects of the workshop will be the recent research and developments in the following areas relevant for particle physics experiments:

Tracking, Calorimetry, Muon Detection and Triggering Systems
Astrophysics and Space applications
