Summary

• 30 years of research with heavy ions have secured
  GSI a place at the forefront of this science
  worldwide. A broad spectrum, from fundamental
  studies in nuclear and atomic physics to
  interdisciplinary and medical applications, has
  led to many new and widely recognized results
  only some of the highlights could be presented.

• GSI has played a vital role in broadly
  integrating universities and international
  collaborations into this research.

• A planned major extension of the facility opens
  exciting new research opportunities and will help
  GSI maintain its leading role worldwide.
