PROGRAM
Sessions:
Monday 10 August
1. physics and modes of star cluster formation

-- from young massive (super) star clusters to old globulars
Tuesday 11 August
3. star cluster systems in context -- galactic star-formation histories,
tracers of galactic structure

5. complementary insights from multi-wavelength coverage (UV-FIR) --
including Chandra, GALEX, Spitzer, etc.
6. dynamics -- N-body simulations, analytical approaches, hydrodynamics
Friday 14 August
7. star clusters as laboratories for stellar evolution -- focusing on,
e.g., privileged sites for brown dwarf searches, planet transits,
interplay between stellar dynamics and stellar evolution, binaries,
blue stragglers
