Stars, Planets and Galaxies 
                  13-18 April 2018
                  Harnack House,  Berlin, Germany.

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



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 center 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.
