This Symposium on fragmentation and star formation has dealt with the heart of the study of molecular clouds, which is how they form stars. This problem is one of the most profound and challenging problems in all of astrophysics. The complexity of the interstellar medium adds to its difficulty and we cannot expect a quick and easy solution. Nonetheless, the reports presented at this Symposium indicate that substantial progress is being made in this field.
