Mesoscopic condensed matter systems have small spatial dimensions ( < I Jim) and anc characterized by the presence of a certain amount of disorder, for instance due to the incorporation of impurities. At very low temperatures ( < 1 K), these systems show a variety of interesting transport phenomena that are related to quantization, and to the fact that the coherence of the quantum states is not destroyed by inelastic and pha.se randomizing processes such as electron-electron, and electron-phonon collisions. One of the main aims of the school has been to bring tagether experiencecl researchers working in different areas of this new and rapidly developing field, and to proviele a broacl survey to those who just startecl or plan to enter.
