The Low Temperature Laboratory organized a Workshop on Quantum Phenomena at Low Temperatures in Lammi, Finland, on January 7 - 10, 2004. It attracted 87 scientists from 18 countries. The first day of the Workshop was dedicated to the memory of Academician Olli V. Lounasmaa, who passed away on 27th of December, 2002.
The main part of the workshop belonged to a series of users meetings sponsored by ULTI I, II and III, the three consecutive European Union visitor programmes of the Low Temperature Laboratory.
