Dwarf galaxy research constitutes an extremely vibrant field of
astrophysical research, with many long-standing questions still
unsettled and new ones constantly arising. The intriguing diversity
of the dwarf galaxy population, observed with advanced ground-based
and space-borne observatories over a wide spectral window providing
an unprecedented level of detail, poses new challenges for both
observers and theoreticians.
The aim of this symposium was to bring together these two groups to
exchange ideas and new results on the many evolutionary aspects of
and open issues concerning dwarf galaxies. The main topics
addressed include: the birth of dwarf galaxies: theoretical
concepts and observable relics across wavelengths and time, the
morphological, structural and chemical evolution of dwarf galaxies,
possible evolutionary connections between early-type and late-type
dwarfs, the star formation history of dwarf galaxies and its
dependence on intrinsic and environmental properties, the origin
and implications of starburst activity in dwarf galaxies, the fate
of dwarfish systems born out of tidally ejected matter in galaxy
collisions.
