NASA's future planetary and Earth Science missions will require ever more sensitive thermaldetectors operating between 2K and 300K.

It is in response to this need that the International Workshop on thermal detectors (TDW03) was held. It brought together space born IR/Sub-mm and heterodyne instrument scientists and astronomers, thermal detector developers, cryocooling technologists as well as bandpass and blocking filter experts. Their varied expertise and backgrounds allowed for a fertile discussion on outstanding issues and future detector developments.

The Worskhop was held June 19 - 20, 2003 in Washington, DC.
