  This conference dealt with the mass loss from stars and from stellar
clusters. In this summary of the cluster section of the conference, I highlight
some of the results on the formation and the fundamental properties of star
clusters (Sect. 2), the early stages of their evolution (Sect. 3) and go into
more detail on the subsequent mass evolution of clusters (Sect. 4). A
discussion on how this may, or may not, depend on mass is given in Sect. 5.
Obviously, there will be a bias towards the topics where Henny Lamers has
contributed. Some of the contributions to these proceedings have already
reviewed extensively the topics of clusters mass loss and disruption, so I will
try to fit these in a general framework as much as possible.
