This workshop is the fifth in a series devoted to the presentation and discussion of new findings in the field of noncrystalline solids such as amorphous and nanocrystalline materials, granular systems and fine particles, multiphase systems and thin films, polymers, and other disordered systems. The workshop is divided into six categories, with ten invited contributions.Contents:Fabrication and Processing TechniquesMagnetic and Transport PropertiesStructure and Crystallization PhenomenaSmall Particles and Nanostructured SystemsRelaxation and Diffusive Processes. Technological ApplicationsReadership: Materials scientists.Key Features:Offers a different perspective with the conceptualization of endogenous development as a territorial and comprehensive view of developmentGives an insightful argument that local development policy acts upon the accumulation process through the forces of development
