INTRODUCTION The workshop is intended to discuss ongoing and future work studying the central molecular zone of our galaxy, with a particular emphasis on the relationship between the molecular gas and star formation. The conference web page is http://eso.org/~aginsbur/ESO-CMZ-2015.html and abstracts are listed at http://eso.org/~aginsbur/abstracts.html. This document is intended to include notes from the workshop and a starting point for future work, especially observing proposals and perhaps even papers.
