The proceedings summarise the oral and poster presentations of the Winterschool on the above topic. The event was the sixth in a series aimed at describing and discussing recent advances in the understanding of the electronic properties of novel materials. The topic of the meeting, fullerenes and related materials, was chosen as a sequel to that of the previous year in an effort to keep abreast of this new and rapidly evolving field of research. For the duration of the week, world experts from the fields of physics, chemistry and materials science were gathered together to present their current research as well as to participate in the many lively discussions which evolved from the presentations. As such, the proceedings constitute a definitive description of the state of the art of fullerene research.
