The program will traditionally includes lectures by invited speakers, oral presentations 
and several poster sessions. The lectures and oral presentations will generally concentrate 
on the most recent advances in the following areas: 
 
 
 |  | electronic properties of nanotubes | 
 
 |  | physical properties of endohedral 
fullerenes and peapods | 
  |  | magnetic 
properties and superconductivity of fullerenes | 
  |  | synthesis and chemical properties of fullerene derivatives | 
 
 |  | phase transitions in fullerenes | 
  |  | photoelectric and 
optic properties of fullerenes | 
  |  | fullerene containing polymers | 
  |  | synthesis and properties of new fullerene-like materials | 
 
 |  | new approaches for mass production 
carbon nanotubes | 
  |  | biological and medical aspects of carbon clusters | 
  |  | computer simulation of carbon cluster formation | 
  |  | applications of carbon nanotubes and fullerenes |
