Within the frame of activities planned for the Project PAV2003-00120: Applications and Interdisciplinary Integration of Mathematics, Subproject # 5: Mathematics and Physics: "Modeling and Mathematical Analysis of the Heat and Mass Transfer and its Applications", financed by the National Agency of Scientific and Technological Promotion of Argentina (ANPCyT), the VII School on Energy and Mass Transfer, Free Boundary Problems and Applications (Rosario, November 28 ? December 3, 2005) and the TEM2005-Workshop on Mathematical Modelling of Energy and Mass Transfer Processes and Applications (Rosario, December 5-7, 2005) achieved in Rosario, Argentina. The scientific committee was integrated by Juan C. Gottifredi (INIQUI (CONICET-UNSa), Salta), Rodolfo H. Mascheroni (CIDCA (CONICET-UNLP), La Plata), Rubén Piacentini (IFIR (CONICET-UNR), Rosario) and Domingo A. Tarzia (CONICET-UA, Rosario, Coordinator). The local organizing committee was integrated by Adriana C. Briozzo (UA, Rosario, Coordinator), Eduardo Luccini (IFIR (CONICET?UNR), Rosario), María F. Natale (UA, Rosario), Mariela Olguin (UA-UNR, Rosario), Eduardo A. Santillan Marcus (UA, Rosario) and María C. Sanziel (UNR, Rosario). The goals of these events were: Physical-chemical treatment and mathematical modeling of energy and mass transfer problems related to diverse applications. Theoretical and numerical study of parabolic and elliptical differential equations with constant and temperature variable thermal coefficients, and Volterra integral equations, and also of variational inequalities involved in these processes. Entailment and accomplishment of agreements with research groups and/or other Argentine and foreign basic and applied research institutions of international level, in which analogous problems to those proposed in the Project are studied in order to induce a useful scientific interaction.  Formation of Doctors and young researchers in the energy and mass transfer applied mathematical techniques, of fundamental importance in a great number of practical applications. The VII School on Energy and Mass Transfer, Free Boundary Problems and Applications has consisted of eight courses: The Workshop on Mathematical Modelling of Energy and Mass Transfer Processes and Applications (TEM2005) has consisted of lectures and communications. From these activities, lectures from Arturo De Pablo and Mahdi Boukrouche were published on MAT-Serie A #12 (2006) and MAT-Serie A #16 (2009) respectively. Here in MAT-Serie A #15 (2008) four communications received during 2007 and accepted on March 2008 are published.
