Beschreibung
Highly collimated flows of plasma (jets), with speeds comparable to that of light, are a ubiquitous feature of our Universe. While the global dynamics of extragalactic jets is reasonably well understood, their composition and internal structure, and the role of magnetic fields, remain obscure. Major questions remain concerning the physics of the gamma-ray emission itself. This proceedings includes the eight invited talks presented at this conference.
