Absorption lines seen in the spectra of high-z QSOs allow one to probe the cosmology, galaxy formation and its evolution. In particular absorption lines can be used to study the evolution of different forms of matter, chemical enrichment and ionizing radiation as a function of cosmic time. In addition one will be able to place stringent constraints on the variations of fundamental constants. In this talk the speaker will review the present status of the field and summarize future programmes.
