A report is presented of the 13th International Symposium on Electron - Molecule Collisions Physics (Instituto de Fisica, Unicamp, Campinas, Brazil, 27 - 30 July 2005). This workshop covered low-energy electron interactions with atoms, molecules and condensed matter systems. Several important aspects of this symposium were to bring together theory and experimental advances in this field for gaseous targets as well as showcasing the increasing diversity of electron - molecule collision applications in condensed matter and biological applications. A summary session was held wherein were discussed aspects of the future of the field, including the development of new theoretical and experimental capabilities.741C7C14
