  To face recent observational results obtained in multi-wavelength studies
from neutron stars and pulsars with the various theoretical models and to
discuss on future perspectives on neutron star astronomy we organized a Joined
Discussion (JD02) during the XXVI IAU General Assembly which took place in 2006
August in Prague. More than 150 scientists took actively part in this Joint
Discussion. Fourteen invited review talks were presented to view the present
and future of pulsar astronomy. Fifty three poster contributions displayed new
and exciting results. In this summary we give an overview of the invited review
talks and contributed posters. The review talks are subject of review articles
which will be published elsewhere. More information on this will be available
at http://www.mpe.mpg.de/IAU_JD02 in the near future.
