Preface

This volume grew out of a very succesful conference on Modular Forms that was held in October 2006 on the Dutch island of Schiermonnikoog and that was organised with financial support from the Foundation Compositio Mathematica. For some of the participants the journey to the island was a long one, but once on the island this was soon forgotten, and we look back at a very pleasant conference in beautiful surroundings. We thank the Foundation Compositio Mathematica for making this conference possible.

The present volume contains, in addition to an introduction by the editors, sixteen refereed papers, not necessarily related to lectures at the conference. We thank all authors and all referees for their contributions.
