In recent years technological advances have dramatically increased the power of looking deep into the Universe over wider and wider fields and wavelength domains. At the same time a detailed theoretical insight has been developed into the physical processes governing the formation and evolution of galactic structures as well as a remarkable capability of simulating existing and planned surveys.

The aim of the workshop is to create a focused debate on the astrophysical impact of the observations of DEEP FIELDS for the following general topics:

• High-z Galaxies (Lyman-break, Ellipticals, EROs ...)
• Large Scale Structure
• Clusters of Galaxies
• AGNs
• Absorbers
• Deep Fields and Backgrounds
• Stellar and Substellar Objects

The workshop is meant to focus especially (but not exclusively!) on Deep Fields in the Southern Sky, following the observations of the Hubble Deep Field South, the beginning of the VLT operations, the planned deep X-ray observations of the "AXAF Field" with Chandra and XMM, as well as the many other deep fields observed in the far infrared and radio.
