Workshop on AGN and Related Fundamental Physics
in High Energy Gamma Astronomy         
March 31 - April 5, 2008


Hotel Jeris, Jerisjärvi, Fin-99300 Muonio .

We reviewed the potential of ground-based gamma-ray telescopes for AGN and fundamental physics. The workshop was intended to bring together theorists and experimentalists working with very-high energy gamma-rays, using them for the diagnosis of AGN acceleration mechanisms, for AGN population studies, and as cosmic test beams to study cosmology and fundamental physics. Further on, we discussed the prospects for physics of extragalactic gamma-ray sources with advanced and future imaging Cerenkov telescopes in the pre-GLAST and GLAST era. Also discussions on prospects for detecting dark-matter signatures were included. The meeting served for formulating future observational strategies for VHE gamma-ray instruments. Particularly also networking (Global Network of Cherenkov Telescopes: HESS, VERITAS, CANGAROO), multi-wavelength (GLAST, AGILE, Suzaku, XMM-Newton, Chandra, optical, radio...) and multi-messenger (e.g. IceCube) approaches were discussed.
