Conference addressed Physics of the corona, origin and acceleration of the solar wind, and relevant observations of the Sun. 2) Dynamical behavior of the interplanetary medium throughout the heliosphere, including large and small scale structures, the evolution of disturbances, dissipative processes, turbulence, and solar energetic particles. 3) Interaction of the solar wind with the interstellar medium and the heliospheric boundaries, and cosmic rays. 4) Interaction of the solar wind with solar system objects and dusty environments, including the Earth's magnetosphere, planets, and comets. 5) Status and prospects of current and future solar wind and heliospheric missions, including new advances in instrumentation. The program was composed of invited lectures and contributed talks and posters.
