Readership: University workers, professors and also advanced students, workers of science and researchers in the fields of physics and science in general. All persons interested in science and the connection between science and society.

All papers were peer reviewed. The broad objective of Frontiers of Fundamental Physics has been to enable scholars working in different areas to meet and exchange ideas and status reports. In this edition, the foundations of physics have been discussed and the role of science and its connection with society. The idea of supplying a site to impel this debate among workers of science and all the society also appeared. Changing the way of doing science could contribute to improve the society in a fairer social system, a science for all the peoples of the world. Moreover, alternative ideas should be taken into account to help the progress of science. Topics discussed include: high energy physics including string theory and quantum gravity; astro-particle physics; theoretical physics; applied mathematics; astrophysics and cosmology; alternative theories.
