We are pleased to inform you that the fifth conference of the cycle initiated in 1998 with a meeting in Konopnica will be organized as in 2002 in Krynica from 27.04.2003 to 3.05.2003 (Poland).
   Krynica is a well known resort situated in Beskidy Mts. The main purpose of the conference is to present an overview of principal directions of research conducted in differential geometry, topology and analysis on manifolds and their applications, mainly (but not only) to Lie algebroids and related topics.

   We would like to attract attention to:

• Riemannian, symplectic and Poisson manifolds,
• index theorems,
• Lie groups, Lie groupoids, Lie algebroids
• Lie-Rinehart algebras, Poisson algebras,
• foliations,
• characteristic classes.

   We would be glad if you contribute to the success of the conference by giving a lecture, or simply by taking part in discussions. Participants of the Conference will be
lodged in Hotel "Baska" in Krynica of the University of Mining and Metallurgy.
We will send the second Communication with more details at the beginning of 2003.

   The proceedings of the 5th Conference have been published in the Journal "Universitatis Iagellonicae Acta Mathematica".
