The growing number of first-class astronomical research facilities make Chile also a more and more attractive place for hosting scientific conferences with broad international profile and participation. Originally started as an informal, biannual workshop intended to foster the scientific interaction among the observatories in Chile, the “ESO/ Tololo/Las Campanas” workshop has broadened its basis (and sponsoring institutions!), and now includes the National Radio Astronomy Observatory NRAO (as one of the main participants in the ALMA project), and the Gemini Observatory. This collection of observatories has been dubbed IAOC, International Astronomical Observatories in Chile. As its first conference, the IAOC organized a workshop on “Galactic Star Formation across the Stellar Mass Spectrum”, held in La Serena from March 11 to 15. The aim of the workshop was to join together the most recent observational and theoretical results of Galactic star formation into a coherent picture of how stars form as a function of mass, with special focus on recent progress made in the areas of intermediate- and high-mass star formation. The high interest in the topic is documented by more than 180 conference participants, 80 from abroad. Ten invited review speakers explored the similarities and differences between low-, intermediate-, and high-mass star formation in the context of:
