In this conference we have had good lead speakers who have produced fine summaries of what has been achieved. Rather than summarise these summaries I have decided to ask how the type of work discussed here will influence the rest of astronomy. By comparing what we now know about star formation with what other parts of astronomy need from us, we shall see what is still needed and put in perspective what has been achieved.
