About the meeting
The year 2024 marks the 10th edition of the joint Heidelberg-Harvard workshop on star formation from December 3 to 6, 2024. The venue will again be the Haus der Astronomie.
As in the past, the conference will gather experts in star formation from:- Harvard University including the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA)
- The Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA),

as well as invited external experts.
The meeting will concentrate on the physical and chemical processes taking place over a broad range of scales, from extragalactic to individual star-forming regions, cores as well as protostellar disks. Evolutionary stages from the initial conditions for star formation to the end of the main accretion phase will be covered.
