We hope the Galapagos meeting will be to Particle Physics what the Copenhagen meeting was to Quantum Mechanics. A new paradigm lies beyond the Standard Model. The clues hide in experiment (high pT searches, precision measurements, rare decays, neutrinos, cosmology, astrophysics, cosmic rays) and in a multitude of theoretical ideas. Let us advance the solution of the puzzle! The success
