Abstract
A workshop on 'Star Formation in Different Environments' was held at the University of Sydney in October 1991. The workshop was sponsored by the Research Centre for Theoretical Astrophysics, which was set up in 1991 as a Special Research Centre of the Australian Research Council, with the primary objective of fostering theoretical astrophysics in Australia. The major part of the initial organisation of the workshop was carried out by Geoff Bicknell, who was co-opted to the Research Centre for several months from Mount Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories. About fifty astrophysicists took part, including three distinguished overseas visitors, Leon Mestel, Colin Norman and Joe Silk, who took leading roles in the scientific discussions.https://doi.org/10.1071/PH920387
