Summary

• determination of fundamental parameters and properties of O, B, and WR stars, in particular with the use of existing and forthcoming XMM data;
• measurements of X-ray counterpart to non thermal radio emission of OB and WR stars, and of the effects of colliding stellar winds in binary systems;
• determination of magnetic fields of O-stars (combination of X-ray and radio-wave data);
• preparations for observations with the INTEGRAL satellite (abundance determinations, etc.);
• study of early-type binaries or multiple systems in young open clusters.
