We are glad to announce the 13th addition of the Guillermo Haro Workshop in Advanced Astrophysical Research. This year's workshop will cover the exciting theme of compact superstar clusters. The workshop will include discussions on both observations and theory of compact star clusters in a wide range of environments, including the Milky Way, local, interacting and starburst galaxies. The workshop will focus on the following key topics:

Format of the workshop

The format of the workshop allows for general and frontier research talks every morning (Monday - Friday) as well as for specialized discussion meetings every afternoon. The idea is to have the opportunity to work in a pleasant atmosphere with other experts in the field. This will allow for the definition of new projects as well as for profound discussions dealing with the most recent results and thus for a rapid progress on your own research. Clearly, during the workshop you will be asked to give one of the main talks and help us create groups interested on some of the main topics and unsolved questions.

We are expecting to host about 30 scientists, by invitation only.

Facilities and Logistics

INAOE has a large infrastructure that counts with the required offices, conference rooms, dinning facilities, etc. In addition, the campus has guest rooms that can accomodate around 30 participants at a time. Thus, hosting the workshop at INAOE reduces largely the costs of the meeting. The weekly cost of the meeting, including accommodation throughout the week (150.00 US$) and breakfast and lunch from Monday through Friday (100.00 US$) amounts to a total of 250.00 US$ per week. If you prefer to stay in the city of Puebla or in Cholula we will be happy to provide you with a list of hotels. The Hotel price for a single room, per night, is about 80 to 120.00 US$. Please note that at INAOE there is also a small number of large flats in case you would like to come with your family but these should be booked well in advance. Additional guest hosted at INAOE will only have to cover the Monday to Friday breakfast and lunch expense of 100.00 US$ per week.

Cultural Activities

We are also planning an optional excursion to Oaxaca city and to El Tajin archaeological site in Veracruz, during the meeting week-ends. As in previous years, there will be at least one cultural event per week during the workshop.
