Summary

Electric dipole moments and charged-lepton flavour-violating processes are extremely sensitive probes for new physics,
complementary to direct searches as well as flavour-changing processes in the quark sector. Beyond the ``smoking-gun'' feature
of a potential significant measurement, however, it is crucial to understand their implications for new physics models quantitatively.
The corresponding multi-scale problem of relating the existing high-precision measurements to fundamental parameters can be approached
model-independently to a large extent; however, care must be taken to include the uncertainties from especially nuclear and QCD
calculations properly, since they can significantly affect the conclusions drawn from the available measurements.
