Pulsars as rapidly spinning neutron stars have always been excellent laboratories for the study of plasma physics, particle acceleration and cosmic rays. Comprehending how and where particles are accelerated to produce the broadband shape that the pulsed spectra present is subject of enthusiastic discussions and constitute one of the hot topics in high energy astrophysics nowadays... Results from the recent years extending pulsar spectra to TeV energies and beyond motivate debates that can only be elucidated through a deep understanding of the high energy end of their spectrum. In this Workshop, we aim to discuss the latest results on pulsars from high energy instruments, their implications for the current theories, and prospects for future observatories.
