The international Symposium \"Symmetries in Science X\" was held at the Col­ legium Mehrerau in Bregenz, Austria, during the period July 13-18, 1997. Some 40 invited scientists from 13 countries participated in the meeting. The Symposium was sponsored by the Technische Universitat Graz, the Land Vorarlberg, Austria, and the Landeshauptstadt Bregenz, Vorarlberg, Austria. I wish to thank Dr. Hubert Regner of the Amt der Vorarlberger Landesregierung, tlw Biirgermeister and Landtagsprasident Dipl. -Vw. Siegfried Gasser for financial assistence for the meeting, and Frater Albin Printschler of the Cloister Mehrerau for his continued support of the Symposium series.
