Dear Colleagues,


This is the second announcement of the *Bridging scales: star clusters 
and their host galaxies from the Local to the high-z 
Universe* conference, which will be held in *Matera (Italy) from the 1st 
to the 5th of September 2025.*

*Key scientific topics*
The conference aims at 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.
Special focus will be given to the following topics

  * Local young clusters: insights on cluster formation and early evolution
  * Local globular clusters and globular cluster systems and their link
    with galaxy assembly and evolution
  * High-z observations of proto-clusters and dense stellar systems:
    their role in the early Universe
  * Cluster formation in the context of cosmological simulations
  * Next generation of observational facilities
