AB  - The European Co-operation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research (COST) is now a well established organisation for the co-ordination of national research and development programmes on a European level. This series of Liège Conferences was initiated in order to disseminate the results of the materials related COST Actions, beginning with COST 50 which was mainly concerned with materials for gas turbines and then moving to COST 501 in which materials for power generation plant were investigated. The results of the current COST Action 522 'Ultra Efficient, Low Emission Power Plants' are presented at this, the Seventh Liège Conference. The work is focused on materials for the components that have a decisive influence on the enhancement of power plant performance and efficiency. Reliable energy supply at reasonable cost is one of the most important factors in the development of the modern industrialised society, but we are becoming increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of energy production and of the need to conserve valuable energy resources for future generations. Therefore, the emphasis is on a sustainable energy supply and the development of advanced energy conversion and power generation technologies taking into account the need for fuel conservation and environmental protection is essential. Although new and emerging energy technologies are of great interest, fossil fuel will continue to make a significant contribution well into the 21st century. Because a byproduct of the conversion of fossil fuels is CO$_{2}$, the key factor is the thermal efficiency of plant; the higher the efficiency, the lower will be the levels of CO$_{2}$ produced for a given energy output. Power plant can be made more efficient by increasing the temperatures and pressures of the process, resulting in the general requirement for improved materials and components that can operate reliably for long times at higher temperatures and pressures. The materials research and development activities required for the critical components of power generation plant have been based on the principle of work-sharing, bringing together materials scientists, design engineers, alloy producers and component manufacturers, reflecting the need to match materials properties and component behaviour. In order to put the European efforts into a world context, there are several invited review papers covering power plant materials development in the USA, Japan and South Africa. In addition there are over 130 contributions (presented as posters at the Conference) from 26 countries. [...]
