We discuss the synergies between heliospheric and dust science, the open
science questions, the technological endeavors and programmatic aspects that
are important to maintain or develop in the decade to come. In particular, we
illustrate how we can use interstellar dust in the solar system as a tracer for
the (dynamic) heliosphere properties, and emphasize the fairly unexplored, but
potentially important science question of the role of cosmic dust in
heliospheric and astrospheric physics. We show that an Interstellar Probe
mission with a dedicated dust suite would bring unprecedented advances to
interstellar dust research, and can also contribute-through measuring dust - to
heliospheric science. This can, in particular, be done well if we work in
synergy with other missions inside the solar system, thereby using multiple
vantage points in space to measure the dust as it `rolls' into the heliosphere.
Such synergies between missions inside the solar system and far out are crucial
for disentangling the spatially and temporally varying dust flow. Finally, we
highlight the relevant instrumentation and its suitability for contributing to
finding answers to the research questions.
