Preface
The Mochima theoretical physics spring school on the Foundations of statistical and meso-
scopic physics took place in Mochima, Edo. Sucre, Venezuela, between the 20th and 24th of June
2005 1. The Mochima biological station, 400 km east from Caracas, is devoted to the study of
the sea fauna of the Mochima National Park in the Caribbean sea. This scientific event, be-
tween conventional school and informal workshop, aimed at providing a current overview of the
general field of Statistical Physics and Mesoscopic Physics and at fostering interaction among ac-
tive physicists coming from different countries and postgraduate students from Venezuela in this
area.
Several tutorial minicourses were delivered with the intention of providing the theoretical foun-
dations of statistical physics and quantum mechanics as well as of more specialized topics like
renormalization or homotopy. The students also had the opportunity to present in very short and
informal talks their own research in front of a very international audience. Indeed, although the
participation was limited to a very restricted audience, due to the “basic” conditions of accommo-
dation and the small size of the available lecture hall of the biological station of Mochima, many
countries/origins were represented: Armenia, Catalunia, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, France, Germany,
Ireland, Kabilia, Macedonia, Ukraine, Venezuela for this meeting between the “Old continent” and
the “New World”.
Our objective was essentially pedagogical, as we were interested in motivating the students to
learn and to go on studying physics, through a close contact with known scientists in a pleasant
place appropriate for scientific discussions. Appropriate here means far enough from everything
and isolated enough for all kinds of electronic communications to be useless. We warmly thank all
the lecturers, who although “invited” came on their own funds and we are confident that this first
visit in Venezuela for most of them will not be the last one. We acknowledge all the participants
who contributed to the very pleasant atmosphere of this school and we hope that some contacts
between students and lecturers will be kept in the future2.
The school was possible thanks to the sponsorship of several institutions: Fondo Nacional de
Ciencia, Tecnoloǵıa e Innovación (FONACIT, Venezuela), Centro de Estudios Avanzados (CEA,
IVIC, Venezuela), Ministère des Affaires Etrangères (France), Société Française de Physique (SFP,
France).

2Comment that only the non-American member of the “organizing team” may write: as mentioned above, the aim
was to offer to students of Caracas the wonderful opportunity to attend lectures given by internationally recognized
speakers, but at the same time to offer to these lecturers the fantastic opportunity to meet very nice students and
more generally to meet a beautiful country and its so welcoming people.

Eventually, we wish to express our gratitude to the editorial office of Condensed Matter Physics,
and in particular to Oksana Patsahan for her patience, efficiency and useful advice.
