The objective of this workshop was to put together observational
and theoretical works on outflows from different kinds of
astrophysical objects, occurring on different scales and at various
evolutionary phases, and to discuss the impact of observations from
future space missions. For the stars, we thought to follow
throughout the evolution the relevance (rates and dynamical rrodes)
of the mass loss phenomenon, e. g. to explain how and when massive
stars loose most of their ini tial mass to end up with typical WD
masses. The observations of the solar wind were included for being
a unique case where the origin and propagation of the outflow can
be resolved. We thought that the comparison with similar phenomena
occurring in galactic outflows would be fruitful, as demonstrated
by recent works on galactic winds and jets. The interest of having
this workshop in Torino came because there are groups in this area,
at the Astronomical Observatory and at the Institute of Physics of
the University, involved in the theoretical and observational
studies of outflows from astrophysical objects. The members of the
Scientific Organizing Conmi ttee were: V. Castellani, C. Cesarski,
P. Conti, A. Ferrari, A. Gabriel, M. Grewing, Y. Kondo, H. Lamers,
V. Manno, M. Rees and R. Schilizzi. The Local Organizing Conmi ttee
was: L. Bianchi, G. Massone and E. Antonucci. During the workshop
the following topics were treated: the solar wind, the mass loss
from cool stars and from hot stars (m. s.
