Abstract
State of the art protoplanetary disks models which trace the evolution of gas and the growth of dust usually neglect crucial mechanisms, i.e. the continuous infall of gas and dust which is a permanent source of small dust grains, the viscous evolution of the gas and the dust disk, or the evaporation and re-condensation of solid material at the inner edge of the disk. We present a model of gas and dust evolution all the way from embedded Class 0 towards Class II objects covering a variety of new effects and the first new results of such.
