Abstract:

I will  present an overview of the GRIFFIN project (https://wwwmpa.mpa-garching.mpg.de/~naab/griffin-project/index.html) which aims at an “as realistic as possible” modelling approach for entire star cluster populations from a galactic multi-phase ISM at high spatial (~ sub-parsec), mass (~ solar mass, individual massive stars), and time (~ 100 yr) resolution at low metallicity. The underlying model approach will be briefly presented together with highlights on the evolution of dwarf galaxies, the formation of molecular clouds and star clusters as well as the self-consistent formation of globular cluster progenitors in a metal poor starburst environment.
