Star cluster formation in all possible environments including low-mass dwarf galaxies, irregular and spiral galaxies, starburst galaxies, interacting and merging galaxies or galaxies that suffered such events on a large scale in the past, isolated ellipticals and ellipticals in galaxy cluster environments. The preconditions for cluster formation as a function of environment and external influences, questions of variations of the initial mass function, the question of the existence and length of a period of preferred globular cluster formation, cluster life times and destruction mechanisms. In preparation for this meeting a one-day topical session was held at the Centennial Meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Chicago in June 1999. The registration forms for hotels, flights, and events were sent out on Dec 22 together with the registration fee payment form. The early registration deadline with the LOC was January 15 for payment of the registration fee, hotels, and tours.
Late registrations are still possible at slightly increased fees.
