Description
We summarize the main results obtained recently by our group on the
identification and study of very high-z galaxies (z>7) using lensing
clusters as natural gravitational telescopes. A description of our pilot
survey with ISAAC/VLT is presented, aimed at the spectroscopic
confirmation of z>7 candidate galaxies photometrically selected from
deep near-IR, HST and optical ground-based imaging. The first results
issued from this survey are discussed, in particular the global
photometric properties of our high-z candidates, and the implications
for the global star formation rate at very high-z.
