ESO在智利天文学发展中的作用怎么强调都不为过。然而，智利政府也充分认识到科学对国家发展的重要性，并为智利科学制定了大型方案，以提高和保持与具有较长科学传统的国家相比的科学生产力。其中一个方案被称为FONDAP(Fondo de Investigación Avanzado en Areas Prioritarias)，毫无疑问，天文学是智利的一个优先领域。天文学FONDAP计划(WWW。切纳斯特罗。(C)联合圣地亚哥(智利大学、Católica大学)和Concepción(Concepción大学)的团体。FONDAP的目标之一是支持学校和会议。由于球状星团在概念小组的研究中发挥着重要作用，我们认为应该举办一个为期两三天的关于球状星团研究的小型讲习班。但社会人士的反应非常热烈，我们不得不在短时间内放弃举办私人工作坊的想法，转而面对一个全面的国际会议的挑战，这将使我们的组织和基础设施能力达到极限。像往常一样，ESO非常慷慨，因此ESOFONDAP关于Concepción球状星团的联合会议成为现实。这次会议是2001年在PUCón举行的国际天文学联盟(IAU)首次关于银河系外星团的研讨会(也是IAU关于智利土壤的第一次研讨会)五周年，也是由Concepción小组(Doug Geisler)共同组织的。在其间的五年中，2002年在Garching(Markus Kissler-Patig)组织了一次关于这一主题的ESO研讨会，2003年11月在墨西哥坎昆举行了另一次会议(主要是关于年轻星团的会议)。其他几个较小的
The role of ESO in the development of astronomy in Chile is difficult to overstate. However, the Chilean government is also well aware of the significance of science for the development of the country and has created large programmes for Chilean science to grow and maintain a scientific productivity competitive with that of countries with a longer scientific tradition. One of these programmes is called FONDAP (Fondo de Investigación Avanzado en Areas Prioritarias) and there is no question that astronomy is a priority field in Chile. The astronomy FONDAP programme (www. cenastro. cl) unites groups from Santiago (Universidad de Chile, Universidad Católica) and Concepción (Universidad de Concepción). One of the FONDAP goals is to support schools and conferences. Since globular clusters play an important role in the research of the Concepción group, we had the feeling that a small workshop of two or three days on globular cluster research would be due. But the reaction from the community was overwhelming and within a short time we had to drop the idea of an intimate workshop and instead had to face the challenge of a full-scale international conference, which would stretch our organisational and infrastructural capabilities to the limit. As so often, ESO was very generous and so a joint ESOFONDAP conference on Globular Clusters in Concepción became reality.The conference marked the five-year anniversary of the first-ever IAU symposium on Extragalactic Star Clusters (also the first IAU Symposium on Chilean soil) which was held 2001 in Pucón and was also co-organised by the Concepción group (Doug Geisler). In the intervening five years, an ESO workshop on the subject was organised in 2002 in Garching (Markus Kissler-Patig) and another meeting (primarily devoted to young star clusters) was held in Cancún, Mexico, in November 2003.
