Spectacular progress in space infrared and submillimeter facilities, in particular Herschel and Spitzer, has led to dramatic advances in our understanding of the evolving interstellar medium, both near and far. This conference is aimed at summarizing new results in this field, especially those driven by the new capabilities. The topics will cover a broad range of astrophysics, with a common thread of non-equilibrium physics on scales ranging from the smallest to the largest.

The conference will cover the following topics:

  • Astrochemistry of the ISM: shocks, PDRs and XDRs
  • Thermodynamics and Mechanics of the Interstellar Medium
  • The Coupling of Radiation, Gas and Dust
  • Evolution of ISM Properties over Galactic and Cosmic Timescales

Full instructions on on registration, abstract submission and hotel reservation can found on the releated website.
