Blowing in the Wind ICISE International Center for Interdisciplinary Science and Education August 07-14, 2016 1 Synopsis Blowing in the wind has as an objective to bridge the gab between researchers working on the inside and on the outside of stars. To build this bridge, we need to consider many different fields all revolving around stellar winds: stellar structure evolution and abundances, winds launching mechanisms in luminous stars (such as OB, WR or AGB stars), pulsations and dust formation, meteoritic stardust, mass transfer in binaries, winds impact on circumstellar environments, bow shocks and planetary nebulae, mass loss and its feedback onto host galaxies and stellar clusters. Summer 2016 is timely to examine what clues ALMA's fantastic resolution provides on stellar neighbourhoods, and how the big radiotelescope FAST might be put to a good use for the next advances. Most Vietnamese astronomers work on stellar environments with the tools of radioastronomy and ICISE in Quy Nhon (Vietnam) is a perfect meeting point for Asian and Western countries. Given the diversity of the participants, emphasis will be given to introductory and review talks, and room will be kept for discussions between participants coming from different horizons. The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind ! ICISE Secretaries LOC Aimie Fong Maryvonne Joguet Jean Tran Thanh Van Betty Binh Tran Jacques Dumarchez Nguyen Thi Loi.
