The series of International Conferences on Recent Progress in Many-Body Theories was initiated in Trieste (Italy) in 1979. It covers a broad spectrum of current research topics in physics that benefit from the application of many-body theories for their elucidation. The main emphasis of the meetings is on the development and refinement of microscopic many-body methods. However, topics like lattice models, those which emphasize applications of the many-body theory or subjects with a bona-fide many-body component are included. A major aim of the conference series is to foster the exchange of ideas among physicists working in such diverse areas as nuclear physics, quantum chemistry, complex systems, lattice Hamiltonians, quantum fluids and condensed matter physics.

Previous meetings in this series were held in Trieste, Italy (1979), Oaxtapec, Mexico (1981), Odenthal-Altenberg, Germany (1983), San Francisco, USA (1985), Oulu, Finland (1987), Arad, Israel (1989), Minneapolis, USA (1991), Schloß Segau, Austria (1994), Sydney, Australia (1997), Seattle, USA (1999), and Manchester, UK (2001), Santa Fe, USA (2004), Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2005. The next conference will be in Barcelona, Spain, from 16 to 20 July, 2007.

The topics covered during the past conferences include: Quantum Fluids, Bose-Einstein Condensation, Quantum Hall Effect, High T_c Superconductivity, Nuclear and Subnuclear Many Body Problems, Physics of Complex Systems and Chaos, Strongly Correlated Lattice Systems, Quantum Phase Transitions and Quantum Order, Disordered Systems, Density Functional and its extensions, Quantum Chemistry, Low Dimensional Coulombic Systems, Quantum Information.
