JENAM 2008 is the joint meeting of the Austrian Society of Astronomy and Astrophysics (OEGAA), the Astronomische Gesellschaft (AG), and the European Astronomical Society (EAS). The scientific topics of this hosted Symposium covered diverse object classes divided into Stochastically excited pulsators (main sequence, red giants, AGB supergiants), Heat-driven pulsators along the main sequence, and Compact pulsators, as well as additional topics that we have summarized as contributions on Eruptive variable and binary stars, and contributions presenting Methods and tools. The three session topics were introduced by two invited review speakers per field. In the first session, Jadwiga Daszynska-Daszkiewicz summarized current ”Challenges for stellar pulsation and evolution theory”, and Konstanze Zwintz reported ”A preliminary glimpse on CoRoT results and expectations” (for Eric Michel), together giving an overview of the observational and theoretical status of the field. Anne Thoul and Oleg Kochukhov presented the state of the art in ”Asteroseismology of B stars” and ”Asteroseismology of chemically peculiar stars”, respectively, in the second session, highlighting the hot issues in understanding and interpreting the pulsational behaviour of these groups. The stellar evolution aspect was given special consideration in ”Asteroseismology and evolution of EHB stars” by Roy Østensen and ”Asteroseismology and evolution of GW Vir stars” by Pierre-Oliver Quirion in the concluding third session. A dedicated audience (on average 45 participants in each session), the excellent speakers, and our colleague Patrick Lenz who acted as the friendly and competent technician made this Symposium a highly interesting, enjoyable and successful event.
