Preface of the Editors The 28th European Physical Society Conference on Controlled Fusion and Plasma Physics was held at the 'Madeira Tecnopolo' conference centre in Funchal, Portugal, from 18 to 22 June 2001. It was organized by "Centro de Fusão Nuclear" (CFN) on behalf of the Contract of Association between the European Atomic Energy Community and "Instituto Superior Técnico" (IST), and held under the auspices of the Plasma Physics Division of the European Physical Society (EPS). The Local Organizing Committee (LOC) was composed by members of CFN and of "Universidade da Madeira" (UM). Following the guidelines of the Board of the EPS Plasma Physics Division, the 2001 Conference included topics from the areas of: tokamaks; stellarators; high intensity laser produced plasmas and inertial fusion; alternative magnetic confinement; plasma edge physics; plasma heating and current drive; diagnostics; basic plasma physics; astrophysical and geophysical plasmas; and applied plasma physics. The scientific programme and paper selection were the responsibility of the international Programme Committee (PC), appointed by the Board of the EPS Plasma Physics Division. The conference was attended by 620 participants from 34 countries. The Programme Committee selected 5 review, 3 tutorial and 23 topical invited lectures. The 580 contributed papers were presented in 5 poster sessions with 33 also being selected for oral presentation. Additional features of the conference included the Hannes Alfvén Memorial Prize lecture, presented by Professor V D Shafranov, and an evening discussion session at which representatives of the guiding committees of the European Fusion Programme outlined ideas for its development during the 6th European Framework Programme (2003-2006) in view of the possibility of initiating ITER construction during that period. The session allowed members of the European fusion laboratories to exchange ideas with the committee representatives. The conference was also significant for the range and quality of the results from the operation and scientific exploitation of the JET Facilities by the EURATOM Associations under the European Fusion Development Agreement. The invited papers, together with the Hannes Alfvén Memorial Prize lecture by Professor V D Shafranov, have been refereed by members of the international Programme Committee and will be published as a special issue of the journal Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion. A copy will be sent to each registered participant. The four-page contributed papers are published without refereeing as a Conference Proceedings CD-ROM in the series Europhysics Conference Abstracts of the EPS. The Conference Proceedings have also been made available at the conference website (https://www.ipfn.ist.utl.pt/cfn/EPS2001/fin/). This service has been made available through the ELISE conference submission programme developed by CRPP-EPFL, Lausanne. Final editing and CD-ROM production was carried out by the Local Organising Committee using the submissions processed by ELISE. The EPS-2001 had two satellite meetings:
