Introduction

     Multiband superconductors and mesoscopic superconductivity are two emerging areas in the field of superconductivity. The former concerns the formation of superconductivity in a collective way by the electrons on different bands. Therefore the superconductivity and related physics, such as vortex dynamics and structure, interband Josephson Effect and the electron-phonon coupling etc. need to be revisited. MgB₂ is one of the interesting systems which provide the platform for us to play. The latter involves controlling the superconductivity by shaping the samples into some wanted structures. In confined system of conventional superconductors and layered systems with intrinsic Josephson coupling, rich physics have emerged and become increasingly attractive. In 21-26 October, 2007 we will gather together to discuss the physics and material science about the multiband and mesoscopic superconductivity.
