This workshop brings together the teams and collaborators of the Sino-German collaboration on the "Systematic study of stellar populations in star clusters" (DFG/NSFC, Dali Univ. Zhongmu Li/Heidelberg Univ. Rainer Spurzem), the Sino-Austrian collaboration (U Vienna, G. Hensler/R. Spurzem), the China-Kazakhstan collaboration (Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute Almaty, C. Omarov/R. Spurzem), and the teams of Silk Road Project (XJTLU Suzhou, T. Kouwenhoven/Beijing/...) and Dali University. With the help of dynamical simulations of star clusters, advanced stellar population synthesis and dynamical studies of star clusters are combined; models of star clusters with binaries and planetary systems are presented; dynamics of galaxies and galactic nuclei, with gas, stars, and black holes. We focus also on investigation of star clusters with both photometry and spectroscopy methods, used equally for observational and simulation data.
