The Sixth Workshop on Resistive Plate Chambers and Related Detectors (RPC2001) takes place at the University of Coimbra, Portugal, 26-27 November 2001. Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) are today major components of many High Energy Physics and Astrophysics experiments, being the RPC2001 Workshop intended to be a forum for the presentation and discussion of developments and applications of gaseous particle detectors with parallel fields, including: - Physics of the avalanche and streamer development - Detector simulation - Time and space resolution - Performance of large systems - Detector optimisation for long term experiments - Current and future applications in particle physics and astrophysics - Front-end electronics - RPC based trigger systems. This is the sixth Workshop of a series that began at Lecce, Italy in 1991 and has run biannually in Rome, Pavia, Napoli and Bari.
