Closing remarks and Outlook

Abstract

Some highlights are given of the IAU Symposium 334, Rediscovering our Galaxy, held in Potsdam, in July 2017: from the first stars fossil records found in the halo, the carbon-enhanced metal poor CEMP-no, to the cosmological simulations presenting possible scenarios for the Milky Way formation, passing through the chemo-dynamical models of the various components, thin and thick disks, box/peanut bulge, halo, etc. The domain is experiencing (or will be in the near future) huge improvements with precise and accurate stellar ages, provided by astero-seismology, precise stellar distances and kinematics (parallaxes and proper motions from GAIA), and the big data resulting from large surveys are treated with deep learning algorithms.
