Many of the key issues facing astrophysicists and cosmologists can be uniquely addressed by observations in near and far infrared, millimetre and submillimetre wavebands. Some highlights of IAU Symposium No. 204 are reviewed and likely future directions of observation, interpretation and theory are discussed.
