In the week of August, 16th-20th of 2004, we organized a workshop about “Automorphisms of Curves” at the Lorentz Center in Leiden. The programme included two “problem sessions”. Some of the problems presented at the workshop were written down; this is our edition of these refereed and revised papers. Edited by Gunther Cornelissen and Frans Oort with contributions of I. Bouw; T. Chinburg; G. Cornelissen; C. Gasbarri; D. Glass; C. Lehr; M. Matignon; F. Oort; R. Pries; S. Wewers.
