The team meeting was mainly devoted to presenting the current research concerning nano dust of the team members.  After introductory presentations we defined the topics of the future work within the team. We prepared an outline for a joined review article and defined topics for discussion in splinter groups and during the next meetings. The next team meeting is tentatively scheduled for March 2010 (tbc).
