SUMMARY:Using the Milky Way as a template for understanding star formation
  in extreme environments across cosmological timescales - Steve Longmore (
 Liverpool John Moore University)

DESCRIPTION:The Milky Way contains large reservoirs of gas with properties
  directly comparable to most of the known range of star formation environm
 ents in the Universe.  As such\, it is an excellent template for studying 
 star formation across cosmological timescales.  I will show how we have be
 en using studies of gas in the Milky Way to learn about star formation in 
 high-redshift clouds and galaxies and super star cluster formation.  These
  results strongly challenge the universality of currently accepted star fo
 rmation theories.  I will discuss the implications of this for our underst
 anding of star and planet formation as a whole\, and how this may relate t
 o supermassive black hole growth and feedback in the centre of galaxies.\n
