In recent years a new scientific discipline has emerged in Nuclear Physics: the production and use of energetic radioactive beams. These beams produced by two complementary techniques (in- flight separation and post-acceleration of low-energy radioactive beams) have been developed in a number of European Large-Scale Facilities. In it's "Nuclear Physics in Europe: Highlights and Opportunities" report (1997), the Nuclear Physics European Collaboration Committee (NuPECC: an Associated Committee of the European Science Foundation, see http://www.nupecc.org) states that the field of radioactive ion-beam physics is one of the most important directions for the future nuclear science program in Europe.

It is essentially linked to Nuclear Structure Physics under Extreme Conditions of Isospin, Mass, Spin and Temperature. But it addresses also problems in Astrophysics, Solid-State Physics and the study of Fundamental Interactions. Furthermore important applications and spin-offs are originating from this basic research that is the primary mission of this field. Europe is the leader in this field and will continue to be by following the recommendations by NuPECC to strongly investigate the possibilities of a Second Generation of Radioactive Ion Beam Facilities.

It is the aim of this series of Euro Summer Schools to train PhD students and young post-docs starting to work in one of the fields related to radioactive ion beams. The hereby-proposed continuation of a successful series of Euroschools started in 1993, all organised on a yearly basis, fulfil this need. The proposed series guarantees that the new generation of young scientists from all possible institutes in Europe is well trained, motivated and equipped with well-established contacts amongst themselves and with the leading scientists in the field.

Previously all schools were held in Leuven, Belgium but this year the school starts to travel around in Europe with a first halt in Jyväskylä, Finland. Four events are proposed for the next four years and the choice of the sites (Pays de Gex - France near CERN, Valencia - Spain, Surrey - United Kingdom and Darmstadt - Germany) is based on the proximity of a university where a strong research group working on radioactive ion beams is present or on the proximity of a leading research centre.
