This series of Cosmic Dust meetings aims at finding a consensus among experts on the formation and evolution of cosmic dust: where it comes from and where it goes. The meeting is organized by dust freaks who are very enthusiastic not only to make the goal achievable but also to establish a dust community across every scientifically relevant discipline for the development of cosmic dust research. For this reason, the primary objectives of the meeting are to bring together professionals who deal with cosmic dust and to provide an opportunity for participants to develop human relations and interactions among the participants.

All kinds of cosmic dust such as
intergalactic dust,
interstellar dust, 
protoplanetary disk dust,
debris disk dust,
cometary dust, 
interplanetary dust, 
circumplanetary dust, 
stellar nebular condensates, 
presolar grains, 
micrometeorites, 
meteoroids, 
meteors, 
regolith particles, 
planetary aerosols
are the subject of discussion. The meeting is open for any aspects of dust research by means of different methods of studies (in-situ and laboratory measurements, astronomical observations, laboratory and numerical analogue simulations, theoretical modeling, data analyses, etc.). All dust-related topics, for example, the formation of molecules and their reactions on and their desorption from the surface of dust particles, are also welcome. Publishing the proceedings of this meeting is currently being planned as a special issue of a peer-reviewed journal, while paper submission to the proceedings is not obligatory.

Please complete online meeting application at the CPS website in order to attend the meeting (deadline: May 13, 2014, 11:59 p.m. Japan Standard Time). Because the number of participants shall be limited to approximately 50, the online application does not guarantee admission to the meeting. Participants will be determined at the discretion of the SOC and all applicants will be notified of the admissions decision by May 31, 2014. Priority will be given to those who contribute to oral or poster sessions and retain enthusiasm for discussions throughout the meeting. For further details, please visit the Cosmic Dust website.

The early bird rate of 10,000 JPY is available for those who complete both admissions application and abstract submission by April 30, 2013, 11:59 p.m. Japan Standard Time. The late registration fee for those who complete admissions application on and after May 1, 2014 is 15,000 JPY. While no payment is required at the time of admissions application and abstract submission, the registration fee should be paid by cash on arrival at the venue. No matter what circumstances are specified, the registration fee will not be waived.
