Dust in the Torus of the AGN Unified Model

These proceedings are based on an invited review talk at the 7th Meeting on Cosmic Dust. The scope of the meeting was broad, covering dust-related topics in areas from comets to debris disks and high-redshift galaxies. This is therefore intended to be an accessible, introductory overview of the dusty torus of the AGN unified model, aimed at summarizing our current understanding of the torus and with some emphasis on the solid-state spectral features observed.
