An International Conference to discuss the fate of neutral hydrogen atoms from early epochs to today's Universe. That means to study the signatures of HI atoms at various cosmological times, the processes which favour its presence or its disappearance into either the ionized phase or the molecular phase, and the relevance of these phases for the baryonic budget and the star formation history of our Universe.
