宇宙尘埃长期以来被认为在天文学中发挥着关键作用，特别是在行星科学，空间科学，天体物理学，天体化学，天体生物学和天体矿物学中。其至关重要的原因是，它基本上存在于所有温度低到足以使气体冷凝成固体的环境中。尘埃在被观测的介质中携带着重要的信息，并作为对各种天文物体的物理性质和化学条件的奇妙探测。多年来，每个天文学界都自然地开发了自己的观测策略、实验室设备、模型、数字代码等。因此，利用宇宙尘埃作为工具，对这种相当不同的方法获得一致的全球性认识，已成为当今的一个真实的挑战，一系列的宇宙尘埃会议1提供了一个独特的机会来克服这个困难。这些会议涵盖了世界上最广泛的宇宙尘埃研究，聚集了来自天文学不同领域的专家，目的是分享他们对尘埃的最佳知识。自2006年以来，我们一直在亚洲组织宇宙尘埃会议，每次都邀请少数来自尘埃各个领域的专家参加，以及少数贡献专家。会议的基本形式是由50-60名选定的与会者组成，在长时间的咖啡休息和愉快的晚间活动中有充足的时间进行科学讨论和发展人际关系。宴会和半天的短途旅行也有助于使这些会议成为一个愉快的时刻，并提供一个非常具体的地方来启动新项目和提出新的想法。2014年8月4日至8日，第七次宇宙尘埃会议（以下简称“第七次宇宙尘埃会议”）在日本大坂产业大学梅田卫星校区举行。幸运的是，我们能够年复一年地邀请来自广泛研究领域的演讲者。《宇宙尘埃VII》的特邀演讲者是迈克尔·F。A'Hearn（University of
Cosmic dust has long been recognized to play a key role in astronomy, especially in planetary science, space science, astrophysics, astrochemistry, astrobiology, and astromineralogy. The reason for its crucial importance is that it has been found essentially in all the environments where the temperature is low enough for gases to condense into solids. Dust carries critical information on the medium where it is observed and acts as a fantastic probe into the physical properties and chemical conditions of various astronomical objects. Over the years, each astronomical community has naturally developed its own observing strategies, laboratory equipment, models, numerical codes, etc. As a consequence, it has become a real challenge of the present day to get a consistent and global picture of such considerably diverse approaches using cosmic dust as a tool, despite the broadly shared interest in it. A series of Cosmic Dust meetings1 provides a unique opportunity to overcome this difficulty. These meetings cover the widest range of cosmic dust research in the world by gathering experts from different fields in astronomy with the goal to share their best knowledge of dust. Since 2006, we have been organizing the Cosmic Dust meetings in Asia, every time with a small number of invited experts from various fields of dust, together with a limited number of contributed experts. The basic format of the meeting is made up of 50–60 selected attendees and ample time for both scientific discussion and the development of interpersonal relationships during long coffee breaks and enjoyable evening events. A banquet and a half-day excursion also contribute to making these meetings a pleasant moment, and providing a very specific place to trigger new projects and come up with emerging new ideas. Therefore, the overall atmosphere of the meetings is conducive to establishing longterm relationships and possible collaborations across scientific disciplines.The 7th meeting on Cosmic Dust (hereafter “Cosmic Dust VII”) was held at the Umeda Satellite Campus of Osaka Sangyo University, Japan, from August 4 to 8, 2014. It was fortunate for us that we could have a great list of invited speakers year after year from a broad range of research fields. The invited speakers of Cosmic Dust VII were Michael F.
