SFR@50: Filling the Cosmos with StarsIn 2009 is the 50th anniversary of the publication of the paper ``The Rate of Star Formation'' by Maarten Schmidt. In this paper, M. Schmidt introduced the concept of the star formation rate in galaxies which has stimulated a lasting observational and theoretical effort to understand how galaxy properties can regulate the physics of star formation and the rate of stellar birth. The aim of this International Conference is to gather the astronomical community to discuss the state of the art of these topics from the early Universe to the Milky Way. The meeting will take place in Spineto (ITALY), an old abbey surrounded by farmhouses in Tuscany. The place offers a unique environment for sharing critical thoughts on the SFR and for stimulating constructive discussions on the most recent observational results. It will cover the following topics:
Andreas Burkert (University Observatory, Munchen-Germany) Edvige Corbelli (INAF-OA Arcetri, Firenze-Italy) Bruce Elmegreen (IBM Watson Center, Yorktown-USA) Reinhard Genzel (MPI-Extraterrestrische Physik, Garching-Germany) George Helou (IPAC-Caltech, Pasadena-USA) Robert Kennicutt (Instiutute of Astronomy, Cambridge-UK) Filippo Mannucci (INAF-OA Arcetri, Firenze-Italy) Eve Ostriker (University of Maryland, College Park-USA) Francesco Palla (INAF-OA Arcetri, Firenze-Italy) Arthur Wolfe (University of California, San Diego-USA) Patrizia Braschi (INAF-OA Arcetri, Firenze-Italy) Edvige Corbelli (INAF-OA Arcetri, Firenze-Italy) Filippo Mannucci (INAF-OA Arcetri, Firenze-Italy) Francesco Palla (INAF-OA Arcetri, Firenze-Italy) Beatrice Vinciarelli (Abbazia di Spineto, Sarteano-Italy)
