The purpose of the Symposium is to address studies of basic science problems associated with laser-plasma interactions, as well as industrial applications and applications to medical
diagnostics and hadron therapy. We address special topics, related to the laser driven accelerators of charged particles and the laser driven coherent and incoherent x-ray sources with their applications. As it relates to basic research in quantum field physics and astrophysics, special attention will be paid to the generation of super intense electromagnetic  waves and to super intense static magnetic fields in high power laser - matter interactions.
