DESCRIPTION:MPI are experiencing a growing popularity and are widely invok
 ed to account for observations that cannot be explained otherwise: the act
 ivity of the Underlying Event\, the rates for multiple heavy flavour produ
 ction\, the survival probability of large rapidity gaps in hard diffractio
 n\, etc. At the same time\, the implementation of MPI effects in Monte Car
 lo generators is quickly proceeding at an increasing level of sophisticati
 on and complexity\, which can have far reaching implications for LHC physi
 cs. The ultimate ambition of this workshop is to promote MPI as a unifying
  concept between apparently distinct lines of research\, to profit from ex
 perimental progress in order to constrain their implementation in models\,
  and to evaluate their impact on the LHC physics program.\n\nTopics:\n- Ph
 enomenology of MPI processes and multiparton distributions\n- Consideratio
 ns for the description of MPI in QCD\n- Measuring multiple partonic intera
 ctions\n- Experimental results on inelastic hadronic collisions: underlyin
 g event\, minimum bias\, forward energy flow\n- Monte Carlo development an
 d tuning\n- Connections with diffraction\, heavy-ion physics and cosmic ra
