<div><b>Key scientific topics</b></div>
<div>The conference aims at<span style="text-align:justify"> bringing
together observers and theorists from both the local and
high-z Universe communities to inspire discussions about
how to build a comprehensive picture of star cluster
formation and evolution, explore the link between old
massive, young star clusters and high-z proto-globular
clusters, their connection to galaxy formation and their
potential role in the reionization of the Universe.</span></div>
<div><span style="text-align:justify">Special focus will be
given to the following topics</span></div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color:rgb(80,0,80)">
<div style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<ul>
<li style="margin-left:15px">Local young clusters:
insights on cluster formation and early evolution</li>
<li style="margin-left:15px">Local globular clusters
