Over the last decade, our understanding of physics of star formation on size scales from individual star-forming cores to galaxies has been significantly advanced by (sub)millimetre instruments such as Planck, the JCMT and ALMA, and by the development of zoom-in simulations and the inclusion of detailed astrochemical networks within them.  Now, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is poised to revolutionise our understanding of young protostars and their environments. 

This meeting will present the current state of the art results, and will discuss synergies across the red side of the electromagnetic spectrum, between simulations and observations, and between star formation studies in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies, in order to investigate how fundamental properties of galaxies such as star formation rate and efficiency, and the Initial Mass Function, are set.

If you wish to present a contributed talk at this meeting, please send a title and abstract to Kate Pattle (k.pattle@ucl.ac.uk) by Friday 13th October.
