Abstract

The first edition of a three-day workshop dedicated entirely to binary systems in star clusters and beyond was held at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Florence. The goal of the workshop, organized as part of the ERC-funded StarDance project, led by Dr. Pancino, was to bring together experts in simulations of detailed binary evolution and population synthesis codes, asteroseismologists and observers of binary stars in different environments (e.g., open vs globular clusters) to share ideas, discuss current results and build new collaborations that can help us take the field a step further.
