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.
