Three of the most exciting areas of current fundamental research in physics are neutrino physics, flavor physics, and precision cosmology. Despite the remarkable success of the Standard Model of the electromagnetic and weak interactions on many fronts, there remain many unanswered questions related to important experimental observations in the areas mentioned. Following the trend of the previous workshops, the focus on this one is also the presentation of the current status of the main neutrino mass experiments, the future experimental projects related to them, as well as reviews of the theoretical and phenomenological ideas related to the question of neutrino masses, CP violation, and related topics in cosmology, such as the origin of the dark matter and dark energy, and the inflationary theory of the early universe.
