N2 - In this paper we present a brief summary of material presented and discussed at ERL 2015 workshop, Working Group 5 (WG5), Applications. Because of the brevity of the paper we can only scratch the surface of the material covers in many excellent presentations. The goal of the WG5 was to discuss applications, which require an ERL or can benefit from an ERL. We also aimed to discuss strengths and weaknesses of ERLs as accelerator used for those applications. As examples of possible weaknesses we identified the difficulty with radiation protection/beam loss monitoring (when ERLs compared with storage rings) and the need to bend electrons and suffer SR losses and effects (when ERLs compared with straight linacs). As example of obvious advantages we identified the ERL's energy efficiency, its ability of providing fresh beam with very high power as well as to preserve polarization of the accelerated beam. We also discussed a set of critical parameters, which ERLs should demonstrate to become of interest for various applications.
