Preface
The idea for organising a conference to celebrate Ant’s contributions to star
formationhasbeenfloatingaroundforafewyears.Weconsideredvariouslocations
andwefinallychoseCreteinspiredbyAnt’sdeclaredlovefortheplace.Themeeting
tookplacenearChaniaattheOrthodoxAcademyofCrete,aconferencecentrenext
toaseventeenth-centurymonastery.Itwasattendedbyaround120participantsfrom
allovertheworld,manyofwhichhaveinteractedwithAntinthepast.
The conference theme was chosen to reflect Ant’s interests in star formation
andcomputationalastrophysics.Wecoveredmanytopics:low-massstarformation,
young circumstellar discs, computational methods, triggered star formation, the
stellar initial mass function, high-mass star formation, and stellar clusters. Each
chapter starts with a review contribution that is followed by papers focusing on
recenttheoreticalandobservationalwork.

We also thank Spyros Kitsionas for his help with the conference proceedings,
DavidNutterfortheconferencephoto,SamanthaEmmotandtheCardiffUniversity
Conference Centre, and Richard Frewin for his support with the conference
webpage. Finally, we would like to thank Emmanuela Larentzakis and the staff at
theOrthodoxAcademyofCretefortheirhelpinorganisingawonderfulconference.
It was amazing to hear and discuss new ideas, and argue over older ideas in a
relaxing environment overlooking the Aegean sea. We hope that new theories and
observations using new facilities will soon draw a more complete picture of star
formation.
