                        ********************
                        TOPICS TO BE COVERED
                        ********************

 I) Galaxy Formation: Cosmic Background and Lyman alpha forest. Dark Matter and
                 structure

 II) Galaxy Evolution: Clusters and individual galaxies (colors, evolution, 
                 X-rays, gas, B-fields, chemical abundances, masses, ages, 
                 interactions, star formation, and AGN)
 III) Star Formation and Evolution: Star formation in the Galaxy and external 
                 galaxies (IMF, masses, metallicities and primordial star 
                 formation). Spectrophotometric evolution

 IV) Feedback: Gas and H_2 formation. Energy injection from stars (HII regions, 
                 Supernovae, WR, PN, superbubbles). The role of dust.


 V) The Future: Perspectives for future research on star formation at different 
                 epochs with the new telescopes and computational capabilities.
