The conference responded to the rapidly growing interest in the Starburst phenomenon and the possible links between nuclear Starburst and AGN activity. The central aim was to provide an open forum to discuss the most recent results about the Starburst activity, and the possible Starburst-AGN connections. This version of the meeting list has been updated to provide links to those meetings which are providing information electronically. NASA is currently studying several concepts for the NGST, conceived as a successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. The unmatched aperture size will make this instrument uniquely suited for investigating many astronomical phenomena in the early universe.
