Supernovae are among the most energetic phenomena in the Universe
and - lated to almost all aspects of modern astrophysics including
starburst gal- ies, cosmic ray acceleration, neutron star and black
hole formation, nuc- osynthesis and ISM chemical enrichment, energy
input to the ISM, cosmic distance scale determination, dark energy
related cosmological acceleration, gamma-ray bursts, extra-solar
system neutrino burst detection, gravity wave generation, and many
more. Additionally, the past 15 years have been p- ticularly
productive with many new results and new understanding due in
particular to the closest SN in 400 years in SN 1987A in the Large
M- ellanic Cloud, and the unusually bright and close SN 1993J and
SN 1994I in the nearby galaxies M81 and M51, respectively. In
addition, the disc- ery of the ?-ray burst GRB 980425 and its
related supernova SN 1998bw, and the con?rmation of GRB 030329/SN
2003dh, tied the study of SNe and GRBs inextricably together. With
the many developments since the last - jor supernova meeting in La
Serena, Chile in 1997, we felt that it was an appropriate time to
bring together experts and students interested in the subject for a
meeting where SN and GRB properties and interrelationships could be
discussed. The tenth anniversary of SN 1993J provided such an -
portunity and, appropriately, the meeting was held in Spain where
SN 1993J was discovered on the early morning of 28 March 1993 by a
Spanish amateur astronomer, Francisco Garc ?a.
