<b>Scientific Rationale</b><br>
In recent years, our view of star formation, active galactic nuclei (AGN), the dusty interstellar medium (ISM), and their connection over cosmic time has been revolutionized thanks to technological advances in infrared and submillimeter facilities such as JWST
 and ALMA. Recent observations now enable direct comparisons of ISM properties from z=0 to the early Universe, from resolved studies to direct observations of dust and gas in different phases. At the same time, simulations have made significant progress in
 their ability to include the physics of a multi-phase ISM, as well as interstellar dust.  Therefore, it is now timely to bring together observers and theorists  to discuss new insights and findings on linking dust and gas properties of galaxies observed at
 different scales and cosmic times, as we prepare for the exciting years ahead. The main goals are to discuss the state of our knowledge about:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b>Location</b><br>
Hiroshima, our chosen conference venue, is a city with a powerful history. Situated within convenient reach from Tokyo, Japan's bustling capital, Hiroshima offers a unique blend of cultural significance and contemporary charm. While it stands as a poignant
 symbol of resilience and peace, Hiroshima also boasts picturesque landscapes, modern amenities, and delicious food! Traveling from Tokyo to Hiroshima is both convenient and efficient, with options including high-speed Shinkansen trains, which take you from
 the heart of Tokyo to Hiroshima in just a few hours. Whether you're drawn to explore Hiroshima's iconic landmarks or eager to immerse yourself in its vibrant culture, our conference provides the perfect opportunity to experience the warmth and allure of this
 remarkable city. <br>
