stars are extreme cosmic engines, enriching their
environments with chemically processed material throughout
their entire life-time, and triggering star and planet
formation. Despite their importance to cosmic evolution,
the evolutionary path leading up to the death of massive
stars as spectacular supernova explosions or to the
formation of gravitational wave sources are most
uncertain. One reason is certainly the lack of precise
knowledge of the physical mechanisms behind mass-loss and
eruptions.</span><br>

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:13px"><span
style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Merriweather,Georgia,serif;color:rgb(26,26,26)">The
goal of the Physics of Extreme Massive Stars conference is
to bring together scientists working in a range of
subjects related to massive star research. It is the final
conference of the European funded POEMS collaboration. It
will address the processes that trigger mass loss in
massive stars during extreme phases of their evolution,
the study of the environments of massive stars on small
and large scales and their binarity. During the past
decade new cutting-edge numerical codes have been
developed and used to compute grids of models describing
the chemical and dynamical evolution of stars and their
winds. At the same time, an avalanche of new data from
different observatories using a diversity of observational
techniques (both from satellite missions and from
ground-based facilities) has been provided to the
astronomical community leading to ground-breaking
discoveries.</span><br>
