The 1$^{st}$ $\underline{C}$airo $\underline{C}$onference on $\underline{P}$lasma $\underline{P}$hysics & $\underline{A}$pplications 2003 (CCPPA2003) was organized by the Plasma Physics Department, Nuclear Research Centre, of the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority. The Conference activities was a continuation of a series of started in 1987 with the First Workshop on Plasma Physics and Laser Technology in cooperation with the Institute for Plasma Physics at Jülich, Germany, under the umbrella of the Egyptian-German Bilateral Agreement. These activities comprised in total four workshops in the years 1987, 1990, 1993, 1996, a me-day seminar in 1991 and a training course in 1992 for Asian-African countries under the auspices ofthe Asian-African Association for Plasma Training (AAAPT). CCPPA2003 was sponsored by the $\underline{E}$gyptian $\underline{A}$tomic $\underline{E}$nergy $\underline{A}$uthority (EAEA),the Abdus Salam $\underline{I}$nternational $\underline{C}$entre for $\underline{T}$heoretical $\underline{P}$hysics (ICTP), and the $\underline{A}$sian $\underline{A}$frican $\underline{A}$ssociation for $\underline{P}$lasma $\underline{T}$raining (AAAPT). The conference was held from 11 to 15 October 2003 in the Tibarose Hotel, Nasr City, Cairo, Egypt. The aim of the conference was to provide a suitable scientific forum for plasma physicists from developing countries. Besides, participants had the chance to interact with international scientists and to learn about advanced topics and newly emerging research directions. The conference proceedings contain about 13 invited lectures given by researchers eminent in their fields. Participants from 25 countries participated and presented their contributions during the conference days. All contributions were followed by informal discussions which brought additional information to the understanding of the most recent results. These contributions were refereed. After inclusion of the suggestions and the comments of the referees, 63 contributions were accepted for publications in these proceedings. The contributions cover a wide area in plasma physics & applications: tokamaks, plasma diagnostics, small plasma devices, plasma applications, laser plasma interaction, laser applications, and plasma theory.
