The role of high pressure experiments in the discovery of supercon
ducting materials with a T. above liquid nitrogen temperature has
demon strated the importance of such experiments. The same role
holds true in the tailoring of materials for optoelectronic
devices. In addition, much progress has been made recently in the
search for metallic hydro gen, and the application of high pressure
in polymer research has brought forth interesting results. These
facts together with the suc cess of previous small size meetings
(such as the "First International Conference on the Physics of
Solids at High Pressure", held in 1965 in Tucson, Arizona, U. S. A.
; "High Pressure and Low Temperature Physics", held in 1977 in
Cleveland, Ohio, U. S. A. ; and "Physics of Solids Under High
Pressure", held in 1981 in bad Honnef, Germany), motivated us to
organize a workshop with emphasis on the newest results and trends
in these fields of high pressure research. Furthermore, it was
intended to mix experienced and young scien tists to realize an
idea best expressed in a letter by Prof. Weinstein: "I think it is
an excellent idea. I have often felt that the number of excellent
young researchers in the high pressure field need an opportu nity
to put forward their work with due recognition. " Thanks to the
support of the key speakers, we were able to achieve this goal and
had more than 50\ young participants.
