This volume constitutes the Proceedings of a Europhysics Study
Conference held in Erice, Sicily from March 17 to 24, 1980. The
objective of the meeting was to bring together practitioners of two
different approaches to the unification of the fundamental par
ticle interactions: supersymmetry and supergravity on the one hand,
and grand unified gauge theories on the other hand. The hope was
that exposure to each others' ideas and problems would at least aid
mutual comprehension, and might start people thinking how to
develop a synthesis of the two approaches which could avoid their
individual shortcomings. It is not clear to us how successful the
conference was in achieving these objectives. On the one hand many
important ad vances in supersymmetric theories were reported which
were primarily of a technical nature, while some interesting
attempts to probe the phenomenological consequences of
supersymmetry and supergravity were also presented. On the other
hand there was considerable in terest in phenomenological aspects
of grand unified theories such as proton decay, neutrino masses and
oscillations, and links with cosmology. There was also some work on
model-building but rela tively few purely technical advances. A few
speakers tried to build bridges between the formalism of
supersymmetry or supergravity and the phenomenologically successful
gauge theories of elementary par ticle interactions."
