The Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) was a relatively cheap (~$20M) 10m class telescope, for which the construction phase was completed, relatively quickly, by late 2005. ... These cover a range of topics, and some will focus on studies using the unique or rarer instrument capabilities for large telescopes. Finally, I look to the future of SALT and the prospects of new instruments and capabilities and I will also discuss some of other new SAAO facilities and future plans. ...

Maxim KAZARYAN (Steklov Institute and IUM, Moscow): Hodge integrals and the tautological ring of the moduli space of curves . The cohomology ring of the (compactified) moduli spaces of algebraic curves has extremely complicated structure and there is no hope to get its complete description. It happens, however, that cohomology classes which are interesting from the point of view of applications form a relatively small subring of the whole cohomology ring and its description is much simpler. ...
