Rationale

The Laboratory Astrophysics Workshop 2014 was organized with the support of the DFG Priority Program "Physics of the Interstellar Medium" (ISM-SPP 1573). Like its previous editions, it aimed at bringing together the Laboratory Astrophysics community of Germany to present and discuss their recent works. It was also the opportunity for us to meet with guests from abroad.

This year we intended to emphasize laboratory studies related to cosmic dust: formation of analogs, characterization of materials, chemistry at surfaces, processing, etc.
