A series of biennial workshops on hot subdwarf stars commenced in 2003. The aim of these workshops is to disseminate recent results on the properties, formation, and evolution of hot subdwarf stars and related objects, and to assess the impact of these results on other areas of astrophysics. The first workshop was held in Keele, UK, and the second in Santa Cruz de La Palma, Spain. The third meeting is organized by the Dr. Remeis-Sternwarte and the University of Erlangen-Nuernberg and will be held in Bamberg, Germany from July 23 - 27, 2007.

Selection of topics:

• Modeling the formation and evolution of hot subdwarf stars
• Hot subdwarfs and the ultraviolet-upturn phenomenon in
  elliptical galaxies
• Hot subdwarfs and hot horizontal-branch stars in the field, clusters and galaxies
• Hot subdwarfs in binary systems
• Atmospheric properties of hot subdwarfs
• Asteroseismology of hot subdwarf stars
• Progenitors and progeny of hot subdwarf stars
