This IAU symposium will review both the current status of the field and preparations for optimal exploitation of next-generation facilities to provide a reference point for the study of the outer regions of galaxies. The latest results on the stellar, dust and gas content of the outskirts of galaxies, from those in the Local Group to high redshift, will be discussed. A broad approach is needed to improve our knowledge on the fueling and growth of these difficult-to-observe regions, and to establish their role in galaxy evolution and as mediators in the interactions between galaxies and the intergalactic medium.
Over the five day symposium, participants will enjoy the enriching atmosphere of Toledo, Spain, the medieval “City of the Three Cultures”, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986.
Registration is now open at:
