On August 20 - 24, 2017, the Australian National University will host an international scientific conference "From Black Hole to Environment: galaxy evolution across multiple wavelengths". This conference aims to bring together both our observational and theoretical understanding of how galaxies evolve through feeding and feedback processes. The meeting will address our current understanding of feeding and feedback from large scales (clusters) to small scales (galactic centres) including gaseous outflows, star formation, and black hole co-evolution. The conference will be split into four categories:


*         Galaxy groups, clusters, large scale structure: dynamics, mergers, interactions;

*         Galaxies in the high redshift universe: AGN feedback and gaseous outflows;

*         Galaxies in the low redshift universe: refuelling and feeding black holes and star formation; and

*         Centres of galaxies: black hole accretion, launching jets and galactic winds, starbursts and star formation.


This meeting will focus on multi-wavelength science that addresses the above science. We have invited leading scientists from the major galaxy surveys and leading scientists working on theoretical simulations.  This will provide a platform to reconcile theoretical predictions with ongoing and upcoming observational projects to foster new collaborations.
