Abstract

Massive stars are the crossroads of many important astrophysical problems and thus a proper understanding of their evolution is very needed. They are the main sources of UV radiation, by heating the interstellar dust they produce the far-IR luminosities of galaxies. They are the precursors of Supernovae and also the main sources of nucleosynthesis. They are visible in distant galaxies and the recent observations of starbursts have shown their major role in the spectral and chemical evolution of galaxies. They begin to be observed in the galactic center and in regions of star formation around galactic nuclei.
