Summary

A general overview of the current state of the art is presented on topics related to mathematical physics, cosmology, high energy physics, statistical, medical and solid state physics. The courses in the School consisted of a starting introductory general session and continued with a series of lectures at increasing levels to reach applications on special topics. There are also normal lectures.
