The objectives of this 3-day Meeting-in-a-Meeting (MiM) are to expand on the series of meetings that was successfully initiated by the Working Group on Laboratory Astrophysics (WGLA) at last year's summer meeting to promote and increase the interaction between the laboratory astrophysics and the astronomy/planetary communities. This Meeting-in-a-Meeting is devoted to the interplay between laboratory astrophysics and IR, FIR and Submm astronomy. The sessions will discuss current and future missions and facilities that operate in this domain and their laboratory astrophysics needs. Astronomy is an observational science detecting photons generated by atomic, molecular, and solid-state physics and chemistry. The astrophysically motivated studies, which consist of both laboratory experiments and theoretical calculations, are collectively known as laboratory astrophysics. This Meeting-in-a-Meeting will consist of six sessions that will discuss the nature and evolution of molecules, dust and ices from stellar and planetary formation regions to circumstellar, planetary nebulae and diffuse ISM environments to comets and planets. The sessions map the sub areas of laboratory astrophysics in the IR, FIR and Submm domains and cover the study of molecules, dust and ices. Each session will include talks focusing on major mission projects and key data needs, related experimental and theoretical work, all illustrating the important role of laboratory astrophysics in support of current and future missions and facilities. An associated poster session on astronomical observations and laboratory astrophysics of molecules, dust and ices runs for 3 days.
