The goal of this workshop is to provide participants with a fundamental understanding of the stellar formation, evolution and structure and exoplanets in a modern view. The formation and the early evolution of stars is one of many intriguing aspects of astronomy. Over the last decades, the large observatories and space missions dedicated to high-precision photometric monitoring of stars and present many new opportunities in the fields of stellar astrophysics and exoplanets. Asteroseismology is a useful task to diagnose the physical structure of pulsating stars. Characterization of exoplanet host stars allows for unmatched precision in the absolute properties of their planets. We discuss the most recent and upcoming discoveries in stellar astrophysics studies, and introduce large astronomical surveys and observational approaches whereas using stars as probes of the universe. Participants will develop knowledge of the astrophysics processes which explain the observed properties of star formation and evolution. Postdocs, PhD and MSc students are encouraged to participate in this workshop. The themes to be covered in the workshop are:

1. The Interstellar Medium and Formation of Stars
• Molecular Clouds and Initial Conditions for Star Formation
• Probing Star Formation with Multi-wavelength Observations
• Stellar Feedback in ISM and Chemical Enrichment of ISM
• Diffuse Interstellar Bands
2. The Structure and Evolution of Stars 
• Main Sequence and Post Main Sequence Stars: Late Stages, Planetary Nebulae, White Dwarfs and Neutron Stars
• Massive Star Evolution and Supernova
• Binary Systems and Stellar Parameters
• Stellar Evolution Models
• Asteroseismology and Probe of Stars
3. Hands-on Session on Exoplanet Systems
• Characterization of exoplanets through Radial Velocity Method
