The Dutch Intercity Seminar on Moduli, which dates back to the early

eighties, was an initiative of G. van der Geer, F. Oort and C. Peters.

Through the years it became a focal point of Dutch mathematics and

it gained some fame, also outside Holland, as an active biweekly

research seminar. The tradition continues up to today.

The present volume, with contributions of R. Dijkgraaf, C. Faber,

G. van der Geer, R. Hain, E. Looijenga, and F. Oort, originates

from the seminar held in 1995–96. Some of the articles here were

discussed, in preliminary form, in the seminar; others are completely

new. Two introductory papers, on moduli of abelian varieties and

on moduli of curves, accompany the articles.
