The search for high-z galaxies is now entering its maturity, with thousands of sources having being found at z>4. However, both observationally and theoretically, the nature of these sources, their dust enrichment and their impact on the intergalactic medium remain open to debate. The goal of this meeting will be, first, to reach a consensus on our understanding of these objects that have already been observed, and secondly, to summarize the advances expected when state of the art instruments including HST, MUSE, JWST and ALMA come together online.
