The Third Microquasar Workshop (or the 'Fifth' Workshop on Galactic
Relativ istic Jet Sources), was held in Granada, Andalucia (Spain)
on 11-13 September 2000. The aim of this workshop in Granada,
following the previous Microquasar Workshops in Greenbelt (1997)
and Paris (1998) and the Workshops on galactic sources with
relativistic jets in Jodrell Bank (1996) and Milton Keynes (1998),
was to focus on the theoretical and observational aspects of
microquasars. The study of microquasars, the sources in our Galaxy
displaying powerful re lativistic jets, is a rapidly advancing
field in astrophysics. The new instrumentation on ground (MERLIN,
SCUBA, VLA, VLT) and aboard satellites (ASCA, BSAX, ISO, IXAE and
RXTE) has provided important results, and much more is expected to
come from Chandra and XMM-Newton. In the further future, powerful
instru mentation will come online in the sub-mm (ALMA) and
gamma-rays (INTEG RAL), extending our coverage to important regions
for the study of microquasars. Energy transport via relativistic
jets is one of the most important physical mechan isms taking place
in compact objects. Large efforts have been devoted to properly
understand the disk-jet connection, and even the effects of
rotation or magnetic fields. Several new important advances have
been made recently, both from the point of view of the theoretical
treatment of jets and the different new observational tests.
