The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will provide more than one
order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity compared with any
existing radio telescope over a wavelength range of several hundred
to one, from decametric to microwave wavelengths. It will
revolutionize the study of the most abundant element in the
Universe, hydrogen, from the epoch of reionisation to the
present-day, probing the onset formation period of the very first
stars, will closely scan proto-planets and, through the precision
timing of pulsars, will detect the distortions of space-time due to
gravitational radiation. The SKA is a sensing network spanning 3000
km from its centre and with a collecting area of more than 1 square
kilometre, using technologies of the 21st century. The SKA will
make the study of a wide range of phenomena initially studied at
other wavelengths possible at radio wavelengths, as well as opening
a new discovery window on new phenomena at radio wavelengths.
XMM satellites were also presented. Concerning extra-galactic cartography, res- ults from the local universe were discussed, like the distribution of super-clusters, and methods to be used with the VLT and the Planck and Hersehe! (ESA, 2007) satellites. The latest results from the 2dF galaxy redshift survey were also debated. The Organization of this workshop is indebted to the colleagues of the Local Organizing Comittee for the help and good humour provided before, during and after the workshop. Special thanks are due to Carlos Martins for the great help and effort provided in the critical moments. We acknowledge the financial support from FCT/Portugal under POCTI Pro- gram from Quadro Comunitario de Apoio III that also made possible the public- ation of these Proceedings and to Sociedade Portuguesa de Astronomia without which the organization of this workshop would not be possible.
