This volume contains the proceedings of one of the first schools devoted to effective field theories. This subject has recently raised great interest in high-energy physics and has become extremely useful in the analysis of experimental data. The lectures cover a wide spectrum of applications of effective field theories with a pedagogical approach, also paying attention to the most recent developments.
