Scientific Rationale
Stars are the building blocks of the Universe, therefore
a better understanding of their evolution and nucleosynthesis
is fundamental for understanding the evolution of
the Universe, which is the main topic of Astrophysics.
Thanks to the progress in observational facilities,
as well as in computational power, there have been improvements in the
context of Stellar Astrophysics in the last decade, both from the observational
and the theoretical point of view.
In this meeting, we intend to gather the most active researchers, both
observers and theoreticians, in the various fields of Stellar Astrophysics
(such as Stellar Evolution, Stellar Clusters, Stellar Populations, Supernovae
and emitters of Gravitational Waves). This will be a great chance for
groundbreaking ideas on the present knowledge of stars, as well as for discussing
the future directions and perspectives of Stellar Astrophysics research.
