Title: Infrared Dust Properties - A Prime Tool For AGN Diagnostics 
Authors: Eckhard Sturm 
Topic: 8 
Session: oral 
Abstract: Mid-infrared spectroscopy of dust features has become a prime diagnostic
 tool for many issues in AGN research (e.g. torus and NLR properties, starburst-AGN 
connection, dominant power source, QSO host galaxies, evolution of AGN, etc.). 
I will summarize recent major developments and results in this field.
