This symposium will focus on the latest developments in the scientific contextualization of Nonlinear electrodynamics in the fields of gravitation, astrophysics and cosmology, in which many relevant achievements have been obtained over the very last years. This field of research was brought into physics during the early days of quantum mechanics and special and general relativity by W. Heisenberg and H. Euler, and later developed by J. Schwinger, R.. Feynman, J. Plebansky, and other scientists. It is understood as a first step into quantizing Maxwellian electromagnetism. Over the last years this field has been on the top of physics developments due to the very relevant contributions to the understanding of electromagnetic interaction that have been performed by several groups all over the world including Prof. M. Novello CBPF Rio de Janeiro group, Prof. J. Plebansky and Prof. N. Breton UNAM Mexico city group, Prof. Z. Bialynicka-Birula and I. Bialynicka-Birula in Poland, Prof. W. Dietrich and H. Gies group in Germany, Prof. J Diaz-Alonso and D. Ribera-Garcia group in Spain, Prof. D. H. Delphenich in USA, Prof. H. Karo Avetissian in Yerevan, Armenia, and many other distinguished scientists. We hope this Symposium to be an opportunity for researchers in the field to experience a very lively and contributive debate.
