The workshop aims at discussing the physics of high-energy photon-induced collisions. In particular, perspectives will be studied for searches of physics Beyond Standard Model at the LHC in photon-photon and photon-proton interactions (both with proton and ion beams). In addition, reports of studies of two-photon processes at the ILC/PLC will be given, as well as experimental and theoretical reviews of photoproduction at HERA, and results from Tevatron on photon-anti-proton and photon-photon interactions, as well as from RHIC on electromagnetic processes.
