Rapid technological advances and scientific discoveries are revolutionizing research in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology. The latest observations are revealing the first stars and galaxies which were born shortly after the Big Bang, as well as the intricate web of galaxies across the Universe.

The next decade will see an exciting wave of instruments that should change our knowledge about the formation of our Galaxy, the evolution of the Universe and the natures of dark matter and dark energy.

This Conference will review how progress in these areas has been achieved, and what are the key issues and challenges ahead.
