Description
Stellar clusters are a fundamental (by)product of the
galactic-scale star formation process. I will discuss how
recent theoretical insights in cluster formation and
evolution have led to a unified understanding of stellar
clustering across cosmic time, from local open clusters and
associations to old globular cluster populations. I will
conclude by discussing our recent work on the multi-scale
behaviour of the star formation relation, which turns out to
be an unprecedented probe of the cloud-scale physics of
star/cluster formation and feedback.
