【 摘 要 】

An overview is given on the historical development of the cluster conference series which started at Bohum in 1969. I start with the discussion of the philosophy of Karl Wildermuth and then I make a review on the main subjects and topics in cluster conferences. Since the cluster dynamics is a main nuclear dynamics together with the mean-field dynamics, we see that development of the cluster conference has been along with the rises of many new subjects in nuclear physics itself. Examples of them include superheavy nuclei, nuclear astrophysics, neutron-rich nuclei, cluster-gas states and ab initio calculations. Finally I discuss that more activities in and attention to cluster physics are seen in recent days.
