Conference Motivation
| Program.pdf |
The symposium aims to bring together 60-70 international experts in the formation and evolution of galaxies, stars and planets, for an intensive programs of talks and discussions about unsolved problems and emerging new observational and theoretical methodologies. Rather than arranging the program by subject area, we have identified a number of scientific themes that are of common relevance.
Theme 1 : Dynamics across all scales: binaries, 3-body interactions, resonances and radial migration in stellar, planetary and galaxy systems
Theme 2: The formation of (proto)planets, (proto)stars and (proto)galaxies: the regulation of gas inflow and outflow
Theme 3: The co-evolution of planets, stars and galaxies focusing on stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis in stars What is the influence of the evolving star on their planets? How does an improved understanding of its evolution lead to greater understanding of galaxy evolution?
Theme 4: The outer atmospheres of planets, stars and galaxies

Conference Location
The venue of the meeting, the Harnack House, is located in the intellectual colony of the Dahlem district of Berlin, seat of the Free University of Berlin. It was opened in 1929 as a centre for German scientific and intellectual life. The conference centre rooms have natural daylight, there is an outdoor garden and the venue features state-of-the-art conference equipment. Double and single rooms have been reserved in the guesthouse on site. Evenings and at least one afternoon will be free for participants to explore Berlin according to their their own initiatives.
