Sommario/riassunto

This is the proceedings of an international conference on the evolution of matter in the Universe, with emphasis on the following topics: big bang nucleosynthesis, cosmic ray nucleosynthesis, stellar nucleosynthesis, galactic chemical and dynamical evolution, and evolution with redshift and cosmic chemical evolution in general.
