Galactic Ecosystems Under The Microscope: Lessons From Highly-Resolved Studies

This is the initial announcement for the upcoming ESO workshop "Galactic Ecosystems under the Microscope: Lessons from High-Resolution Studies" at ESO Garching, 7-11 July 2025. This workshop will explore the latest developments in resolved galaxy properties and evolution. With next-generation observatories such as JWST, ELT and SKA, and upgrades to ALMA and VLA, a new era is being entered in understanding these critical aspects of galaxies throughout cosmic history. The aim is to bring together experts working on observational, theoretical and numerical approaches to address the following key questions How do galaxies assemble their baryonic constituents?What mechanisms regulate star formation and feedback in nearby galaxies?How does small-scale physics relate to the global properties of galaxies?
