The meeting will focus on recent developments in the physics of low-dimensional electron systems, with particular emphasis on electron correlations in these systems, and will center on a series of lectures given by the invited speakers. The aim of the lectures will be to cover the rapid developments that have taken place in the field of low-dimensional electron systems.

The topics to be covered are:
Integer quantum Hall Effect (spin excitations, skyrmions, etc.)
Fractional quantum Hall effect (composite fermions, spin-reversed states, etc.)
Quantum dots (electronic properties, self-assembled systems, etc.)
Other mesoscopic systems.
