This ESO workshop, which took place in September 1995 on a topic that at a first glance could be considered rather specialized, attracted an unpre dictably large number of scientists. This certainly reflects the importance of this field, which has lost its seemingly esoteric character, in a wider astro physical context. To give as much room as possible in these proceedings to the targeted talks, no presentation of the Very Large Telescope Observatory has been included. All readers missing such a presentation are reminded that up-to date in-depth information about the VLT status is available electronically.1 Papers were given concerning observations in the entire electromagnetic spectrum from x-rays to mm-waves, i.e., exceeding 22 octaves in frequency. The VLT as any ground-based optical observatory can only address at best 7 octaves. Nevertheless the VLT, most likely the only ground-based observa tory specifically designed to access all these 7 octaves of the electromagnetic spectrum practically in parallel, will undoubtedly be a tool of extreme value to this field.

Contents: Ground-Based Observations of Young Stellar Objects.- Observations of Dust Factories.- Observational Results Based on IRAS, COBE or Ballon Borne Platforms.- Vega-type, T-Tauri, *Bootis and Herbig Ae/Be Stars.- Properties of Dust around Young Stellar Objects.- Ices and Laboratory Studies.- Radiative Transfer.- Dust as a Catalytic Agent for Star Formation.- Miscellaneous.- Concluding Remarks.
