A conference bringing together experts on the resolved structure of galaxy disks, from observers studying the local and high-redshift Universe to theorists and simulators, with the aim of building a coherent picture of how sub-galactic structures form, evolve, and influence galaxy evolution across cosmic time.
The scientific program is organized around five themes, one per day from Monday to Friday. See the full scientific program for the complete rationale and cross-cutting discussion threads.

Sub-kiloparsec-resolution observations from JWST, ALMA, Keck, NOEMA, and the VLT now resolve star-forming regions and the multicomponent structure of disks across cosmic time. Imaging and spectroscopy are revealing physical processes, stellar populations, and some of their kinematics, but the resulting picture is fragmented across techniques, resolutions, and epochs. This meeting aims to connect the \(z > 1\) picture with the Local Universe and to bring observations together with theory and simulations.
