Star Formation Fields Conference, Crete, 21-26 September 2026

The goal of Star Formation Fields (Crete IV) conference was to bring together interstellar medium (ISM) and star formation researchers working on recent large-scale surveys and simulations that integrate the main multiple physical fields governing large-scale (from pc to kpc) star formation.

Star formation is governed in large part by the interplay of gravity, turbulence, magnetic fields, and stellar feedback. Over the past decade, new surveys and analysis techniques have revealed these processes with unprecedented clarity in the local kiloparsec of the Milky Way, where stellar nurseries can be studied down to sub-parsec scales. The time is now ripe to connect this wealth of local knowledge to the broader galactic context.

Styliani Tsilia, SUBSTELLAR project predoctoral researcher, attended the conference and presented a spotlight talk entitled "First Euclid Views of Ultracool Dwarfs and the Emerging Field IMF"
