Dear Colleague,

we are planning the international conference:

                FIELD THEORY AND STATISTICAL MECHANICS
                     Rome (Italy) 10-15 June 2002
                   http://isis.roma1.infn.it/~ftsm/

The aim is  to present recent results and  new perspectives in Quantum
Field Theory and Statistical  Mechanics.  The conference will focus on
the  interdisciplinary  aspects, and  on  the  exchange  of ideas  and
techniques  between different  fields of  Theoretical Physics  such as
Disordered  Systems,  Mesoscopic  Physics  and  Renormalization  Group
Methods as  well as between Theoretical and  Mathematical Physics with
reference also to some major Experimental Achievements.

Below please find a list of invited speakers:

 S. Albeverio, B.L. Altshuler, B. Batlogg (*), E. Brezin, F. Capasso,
     L.F. Cugliandolo, S. Doplicher, J.-P. Eckmann, J. Frohlich,
