The topics included observations of multiple stars from ground and space, dynamical and stellar evolution in multiple systems, effects of the environment on multiplicity, formation and early evo- lutionofmultiplestars,andspecialcomponentsofmultiplestars(chemically peculiar stars, blue stragglers, brown dwarfs, etc.). Stars show a marked tendency to be in systems of different multiplicity, ranging from simple binaries and triples to globular clusters with N≈107. Modern observations give a frequency of binary and multiple stars in the Galactic field of up to 70%, and between 5% and 20% of these systems are at least triple. There is evidence that the degree of multiplicity increases with primary mass. Many known multiple systems are too wide to have sig- nificant physical interaction between their components. However, tidal and N-body dynamical interactions are important even in relatively wide sys- tems and probably lead to the shrinkage of inner orbits. This sets the stage for spectacular evolutionary processes such as Roche-lobe overflow, merg- ers, supernovae, formation of special components, etc. Only recently did we realize that some of these processes require at least three stars. Theformationofmultiplesystemsremainsadifficultandchallengingpart ofastrophysics,althoughithasbeenaddressedattheWorkshoponlybriefly. Instead, we concentrated on the subsequent stages, more precisely, on how the components, evolution may affect multiple systems and whether there is adifferenceincomparisontobinarystars.Thegrowinginformationontriple andhigher-multiplicitysystemswithavarietyofcharacteristicshasbeenused toexaminecriticallytheassumptionsunderlyingstellarevolutionarymodels. The purpose of this meeting was to bring together teams interested in studies of X-ray, UV, visual, near-IR and far-IR properties of stars of all types which are members of multiple systems, and covering stars of high, intermediate and low mass, thus combining specialists with complementary expertise. The Workshop was well timed, since major developments hap- pened in this field of research during recent years due to the availability of large-aperture telescopes equipped with highly sophisticated instruments for multi-wavelengthobservations,moderninterferometers(VLTI,Keckinterfer- ometer, CHARA array, etc.) and new satellites such as Chandra, Fuse and VI Preface the Spitzer Space Telescope. The combination of results from satellites and ground-based facilities resulted in vivid interaction between the experts of all stellar type. The current state of observational and theoretical knowledge has been reviewed, and priorities for future studies have been discussed, so as to provide the necessary input for further progress in the understanding of the genesis of multiple stars, their structure and their role for the study of stellar evolution. Altogether, 47 people from 16 countries attended this meeting, showing thatitwasfulfillingarealneed.Indeed,thereaderwillrealizethatsignificant progresshasbeenmadeinthelastyears,especiallyinthestudiesofdynamical evolutioninmultiplestars,theeffectsoftheenvironmentonmultiplesystem parameters, stellar evolution within multiple stars, multiplicity of massive stars,pre-Main-Sequencemultiplesystemsofintermediatemass,multiplicity of low-mass stars from embedded protostars to open clusters, and brown dwarfsandplanetsinmultiples.Welookforwardtothefutureprogresswhich willbepresentedinafewspecialsessionsattheIAUSymposium240“Binary Stars as Critical Tools and Tests in Contemporary Astrophysics” during the XXVI-th IAU General Assembly in Prague this year.
