Results from the Alghero Workshop on e+e- in the 1-2 GeV range

In the post-LEP era the high energy frontier is reachable only by large scale collaborations and laboratories, while the present lepton colliders operating at low and intermediate energies are planning major upgrades aimed at increasing substantially their luminosity, in order to meet the continuous interest in precision physics. The lowest energies are now represented by DAPHNE (1.02 GeV cm, operating at Frascati), VEPP-2000 (from 1 to 2 GeV, in construction at Novosibirsk), CESR (presently operating at Cornell in the range between 3 to 12 GeV), BEPC (presently operating in Beijing in the range 2 to 5.6 GeV, foreseen luminosity upgrade). A workshop has been held to discuss both the physics issues and the strategies and problems towards higher luminosities in the energy range mainly but not only between 1 and 2 GeV. The workshop was intended to clarify which experiments are more appealing to the physics community, and which is the way to proceed for obtaining the necessary luminosity.
