Thanks to unprecedented wealth of observational data and advances in theoretical simulations, our understanding of the formation of the Galactic Halo has recently undergone fundamental changes. The purpose of this meeting is to bring together scientists probing the formation of the Galactic Halo through the investigation of the properties of stars in globular clusters, Galactic dSph galaxies and Galactic tidal streams.

Emphasis will be on research in the last two decades since "The Galaxy-Globular Cluster Connection" meeting in Santa Cruz.

The meeting is held in recognition of Robert (Bob) P. Kraft's 55 years of pioneering contributions in these fields.
