Cosmic Dust VI

This special issue is primarily devoted to the 6th meeting on Cosmic Dust (Cosmic Dust VI), which was held at CPS (Center for Planetary Science) in Kobe, Japan, on August 5–9, 2013. This meeting was coordinated in an order where a friendly and welcoming atmosphere persuaded the participants of the meeting to develop human relations and interactions among themselves. This has been our interdisciplinary approach to answering the question of where dust comes from and where dust goes. We briefly review some of the exciting papers presented at the meeting and provide perspectives for the development of cosmic dust research.
