The conference will highlight the recent advances in wide-field and high resolution surveys and detail numerical simulations of star formation in different environments, from individual star to galaxy systems. The idea is to search for a universal picture of star formation across all scales and also identify the characteristics of each individual scale. The goal of the conference is to share the different views from different research communities by balancing contributions from different categories and to encourage collaborations between researchers across the Globe. Depending on the demand, we might continue as SFDExSeries in the next years. Ample time is set a side to encourage discussions and collaboration. 2 PRACTICAL INFORMATION Registration The registration for all participants will take place at 16:00 on Sunday Aug 06th at Seagull Hotel.
