Recent progress in observations over different spectral bands and in the theoretical understanding of the nature and origin of such objects will be discussed, as well as the prospects for their use in cosmology and as probes of the intergalactic medium and chemical evolution at high redshifts. The meeting will be organized around invited reviews and targeted contributed talks, with substantial time devoted to topical discussions. A broad poster session will also be scheduled. The local organizers will need to restrict the total number of participants to between 150-170, due to the limited capacity of the local facilities and accommodation.
