Nature is characterized by a number of physical laws and
fundamental dimensionless couplings. These determine the properties
of our physical universe, from the size of atoms, cells and
mountains to the ultimate fate of the universe as a whole. Yet it
is rather remarkable how little we know about them. The constancy
of physical laws is one of the cornerstones of the scientific
research method, but for fundamental couplings this is an
assumption with no other justification than a historical
assumption. There is no 'theory of constants' describing their role
in the underlying theories and how they relate to one another or
how many of them are truly fundamental. Studying the behaviour of
these quantities throughout the history of the universe is an
effective way to probe fundamental physics. This explains why the
ESA and ESO include varying fundamental constants among their key
science drivers for the next generation of facilities. This
symposium discussed the state-of-the-art in the field, as well as
the key developments anticipated for the coming years.
