An international workshop on cosmic dust will be held from June 16-18, 2025 at Peyton Hall in Princeton University (4 Ivy Ln., Princeton, NJ 08540).
In a workshop style we will discuss the present state and new venues in cosmic dust research. Major topics of the workshop will include:
- Zodiacal dust complex (IDPs)
- Asteroidal & cometary dust processes
- Interstellar dust
- Exoplanetary/Astrophysical dust
- Circumplanetary dust including dusty rings
- Dust near airless bodies (impact ejecta & plumes)
- Laboratory experiments focusing on in-situ dust detection
- Space missions and instruments
In situ and observational results, theoretical models, and the outcome of laboratory experiments will be discussed and their implications for future space missions will be highlighted. Of special emphasis is cosmochemistry and compositional analysis of dust given the upcoming IMAP, Europa Clipper, and DESTINY+ missions. Additionally, we encourage discussion of cross-cutting topics that bridge astrophysical and solar system dust observations.

Getting to Princeton
From Newark International Airport (EWR), the New Jersey Transit (NJT) will take you into campus with a connection in Princeton Junction. From the airport, purchase a ticket terminating in “Princeton”. At Princeton Junction, disembark and get on The Dinky, a two-car train at the Princeton Junction Station that will take you into campus. From there, it is a 0.5 mile (0.8 km) walk to downtown.
Alternatively, while arriving to JFK will provide a longer journey, you can take a AirTran → LIRR from JFK to New York Penn Station. From there, you can take the NJT to Princeton using the directions above.
