New telescopes spanning the full electromagnetic spectrum have
enabled the study of supernovae (SNe) and supernova remnants (SNRs)
to advance at a breathtaking pace. Automated synoptic surveys have
increased the detection rate of supernovae by more than an order of
magnitude and have led to the discovery of highly unusual
supernovae. Observations of gamma-ray emission from SNRs with
ground-based Cherenkov telescopes and the Fermi telescope have
spawned new insights into particle acceleration in supernova
shocks. Far-infrared observations from the Spitzer and Herschel
observatories have told us much about the properties and fate of
dust grains in SNe and SNRs. Work with satellite-borne Chandra and
XMM-Newton telescopes and ground-based radio and optical telescopes
reveal signatures of supernova interaction with their surrounding
medium, their progenitor life history and of the ecosystems of
their host galaxies. IAU Symposium 296 covers all these advances,
focusing on the interactions of supernovae with their environments.
