The Conference continues the series initiated in Trieste in 1978 and is devoted to new developments in the field of many-body theories. 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.

A central event of the Conference will be the Award Session in which the nominees will receive the 2011 Feenberg Medal and The Hermann Kümmel Early Achievement Award in Many-Body Physics.
