The 23 articles in this volume encompass the proceedings of the International Conference on Modules and Comodules held in Porto (Portugal) in 2006 and dedicated to Robert Wisbauer on the occasion of his 65th birthday. These articles reflect Professor Wisbauer's wide interests and give an overview of different fields related to module theory, some of which have a long tradition whereas others have emerged in recent years. They include topics in the formal theory of modules bordering on category theory, in ring theory, in Hopf algebras and quantum groups, and in corings and comodules.
