Galaxies are the building blocks of our Universe, and star-forming
molecular clouds are the building blocks of galaxies. There is now growing
interest in the possibility that star formation on small scales is linked
to the galactic environment on large scales. The aim of this International
Conference is to explore the
possibility that cosmic gas accretion regulates galaxy growth, star
formation, and many other properties of galaxies throughout cosmic time.
The meeting will take place in Spineto (ITALY), an old abbey surrounded by farmhouses in Tuscany, where we plan to host about 80 scientists. Spineto offers a unique environment for sharing knowledge and stimulating imaginative discussions. Previous astronomical meetings at Spineto include IMF@50 (2004), HI survival (2007), SFR@50 (2009), and Metals in Tuscany (2012).
