Oral title: The Nuclear Star Cluster

Oral abstract: The Nuclear Star Cluster in the Milky Way is the only one we can study in detail, and as a benchmark 
object for large spiral galaxies, it provides a vital link to theories of galaxy evolution in general. This makes it very special 
and fundamental to explore. In many ways an extreme environment and embedding the super-massive black hole, the 
Nuclear Star Cluster lies at the centre of the Milky Way and extends a few 10 light-years across. 
With high-IR facilities, it is possible to get details chemical abundances of late type giants but it is also possible to trace 
the young stellar population in the Nuclear cluster. I will discuss our latest results
