This issue contains the Proceedings of the 28th International Conference of Theoretical Physics, ICTP2004 – Electron Correlations in Nano‐ and Macrosystems , which was held in Ustroń, Poland, from 2–7 September 2004. ICTP2004 followed the series of conferences organized by the Institute of Physics of the University of Silesia in Katowice, devoted biannually to the physics of condensed matter. The main objective of the Conference was to bring together specialists working on the physics of electron correlations in nano‐ and macro‐regimes, with the intention of enhancing their mutual understanding and cooperation. The Conference was an international forum for the presentation and discussion of novel scientific ideas and experimental results. The programme of the conference consisted of 25 invited lectures, 11 contributed lectures and 27 papers presented during poster session. The contributions were devoted to problems related to the following subjects: • Transport in low dimensional systems • Carbon nanotubes and fullerenes • Non Fermi liquid systems • Superconductivity and Magnetism • Quantum phase transitions • New materials in magnetoelectronics Among the participants were 88 scientists from 10 countries and 3 continents. The invited talks were presented by distinguished physicists: Hélène Bouchiat, Liviu Chibotaru, Ulrich Eckern, Klaus Ensslin, Jim Freericks, Raymond Frésard, Peter Hänggi, Heike Herper, Carsten Honerkamp, Helmut Keiter, Stefan Krompiewski, Tadeusz Lulek, Kazumi Maki, Nina Marković, Roman Micnas, Volker Meden, Andrzej M. Oleś, Thomas Pruschke, Marek Przybylski, Ken‐ichi Sasaki, Uri Sivan, Józef Spałek, Frank Steglich, Michael Thorwart and Roland Zeyher. The Organizing Committee would like to express our gratitude to the International Scientific Committee and to all the speakers and contributors for their talks and posters. Special thanks are addressed to all the participants for their valuable discussions and stimulating atmosphere of the meeting. We express our thanks to the referees. Their work improved significantly the quality of papers presented in this issue. We are also indebted to the editorial staff of physica status solidi for their help. Our cooperation was smooth and efficient. Last but not least, we thank all the sponsors of the conference (see list). On behalf of the organizers of ICTP2004
