DESCRIPTION:Ivo Varzielas\nI will start by reviewing the idea of family sy
 mmetries\, presenting them as appealing Beyond Standard Model theories tha
 t address flavour.\n\nI will then discuss the hints for Beyond Standard Mo
 del physics in rare B decays observed by LHCb. These are expressed through
  the ratios R_K and R_K^*\, which compare branching ratios with electrons 
 and with muons in the final state. Following this\, I show how models with
  leptoquarks and family symmetries naturally account for the lepton non-un
 iversality required to explain the deviations from the Standard Model hint
 ed at by LHCb - using the same family symmetries that explain the large mi
 xing angles established by neutrino oscillation experiments.
