The first EPoS conference was held at Ringberg Castle in the week 28 August - 1 September 2006.
The main objective of the meeting was to present research results about the early phase of star formation with substantial space for discussion after each session and at the end of each day. A side focus was to highlight the underlying approximations and assumptions made in numerical and observational methods. The conference saw lifely discussions, and revealed how much of the basic ingredients and processes of the first phase of star formation are actually still controversely debated. The participant's feedback was extremly positive and and it was considered to be a fruitful forum for the progress in the field. Therefore, a successor meeting was suggested in a medium time intervall of 2 years. |
