The Conference ``Clusters and Phase Transitions'' was dedicated to recent developments in statistical physics. The invited lectures presented the topic from various perspectives, ranging from nuclear matter to biophysics.
During the conference, fellows of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and German scientists, working in the field of plasma physics, thermodynamics and phase transitions, had the opportunity to meet with two laureates of the Humboldt Research Award, Prof. S. Ichimaru (Tokyo) and Prof. Yu. L. Klimontovich (Moscow).
