Determining whether star-formation proceeds in the latter environment, far from the parent galaxies, in a similar way as in spiral disks has motivated the multi--wavelength study presented here. We collected VLA/HI, UV/GALEX, optical Halpha and MIR/Spitzer images of a few nearby interacting systems chosen for their prominent "intergalactic" star formation activity. Preliminary results on the spectacular collisional HI ring around NGC 5291 are presented.}, keywords = {Galaxies}, keywords = {Star formation}, keywords = {NGC 5291}, title = {Intergalactic star formation}, author = {Duc, P.-A. and Boquien, Mérédic and Braine, J. and Brinks, E. and Lisenfeld , Ute and Charmandaris, V.}, }
