WE-Heraeus-Seminar: Stellar aggregates over mass and spatial scales”,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">to be held during 5-9 December, 2016 at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef (Bad Honnef Physics Center), Germany.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The meeting intends to gather senior and young researchers from all over the world in the areas of star formation, stellar dynamics and galactic center research, to review and discuss the key problems in these areas together. These communities overlap well in their scientific interests and therefore we think that such an event will enable them to interact closely, learn from each other and start new collaborative projects. The meeting will comprise few review, invited and contributed talks per day along with posters (there will be a poster introduction session), leaving ample time for formal and informal discussions.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">All participants will stay and have meals in the campus of the Physics Center over the week. The full-board expenses of all registered participants will be generously covered by the Wilhelm und Else Heraeus Foundation. The participation will have to be limited to approx. 80 individuals in total. To maximize interactions and exchanges and also as a policy of the Foundation, participation is preferred over the entire duration of the event.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The website of the event is located in the following URL where you will find more information:</div><div class=""><a href="https://astro.uni-bonn.de/conferences/aggregates2016/index.html" class="">https://astro.uni-bonn.de/conferences/aggregates2016/index.html</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The registration and abstract submission for this event is now open, check the tab ‘Registration’ in the above conference webpage.
