Abstract
The galactic bulge is the component of the milky way that is most controversial in terms of its formation process. The aim of this project is the study of globular clusters as tracers of the formation and evolution of the galactic bulge, by means of photometry, spectroscopy, and complemented with dynamical studies. High quality photometry as obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and GEMS@Gemini allow to derive ages with good precision. Spectroscopic analyses will be carried out using different resolutions: R~45,000 with UVES@VLT and STELES@SOAR in the optical, R~70,000 with APOGEE@SDSS, medium R~22,000 with GIRAFFE@VLT, and low R~4,000 with other instruments. This is due mainly to the fact that we have perspectives to obtain such data, but also because the study of abundances with different resolutions will allow to use more distant and fainter objects, using the future large telescopes. Finally, having ages, metallicities and element abundances, combined withdistances, radial velocities, and proper motions (in particular from the Gaia satellite), we are able to compute their orbits, usinga galactic potential consistent with the observations.
