Abstract

We give here the Table of Contents of the proceedings from the workshop "Red Giants as Probes of the Structure and Evolution of the Milky Way", held in Roma, 15-17 November 2010. Exciting results are blooming, thanks to a convergence between unprecedented asteroseismic data obtained by the satellites CoRoT and Kepler, and state-of-the-art models of the internal structure of red giants and of galactic evolution. The pulsation properties now available for thousands of red giants promise to add valuable and independent constraints to current models of structure and evolution of our galaxy. Such a close connection between these domains opens a new very promising gate in our understanding of stars and galaxies. Scientists specialised in galactic evolution, in stellar structure, and in asteroseismology, gathered together in this workshop to discuss the current status and uncertainties involved in modelling the structure and evolution of red giants, as well as open questions regarding the study of stellar populations in the Milky Way.
