European School on Magnetism
August 26th to September 4th, 2015, Cluj-Napoca, Romania
The European School on Magnetism is a pan-European event now closely associated with the JEMS (Joint European Magnetic Symposia) conferences, with regular contact between the scientific advisory committees, and sharing the magnetism.eu portal.
As with previous sessions of ESM, the 2015 School aims at providing a thorough insight into magnetism through a broad series of fundamental lectures, and to address a specific topic of current interest in more detail. The topic chosen for the 2015 School is: “From basic magnetic concepts to spin currents”. Aspects covered during this school will include: basic concepts, magnetism in matter, thermal and transport effects, magnetic characterization, magnetization processes, spin-orbit-related effects, spin currents, interaction with various stimuli (light, electric field etc.), and participation from industrial lecturers to provide perspectives beyond the academic world.
The School is addressed mainly at PhD students and post-docs, both experimentalists and theoreticians. It will consist of approximately 40 hours of lectures, a choice of many analytical or computer practicals, open question sessions (5-10h), debates and panel discussion, and free access to a library on magnetism. Attendees will be able to present their own work during poster sessions. More details may be found on the web site: http://magnetism.eu/esm/2015. The registration fees will be of the order of 400€ all inclusive locally. A few scholarships for waiving registration fees may be granted in very special cases where financial support is clearly an obstacle for attending the school. Participants need to cover the travel costs from their working place.
The following important dates should be noted:
2015, March 1st: second announcement – Application to attend opens
2015, April 15th: deadline for application to attend
2015, May 15th notification of acceptance or inclusion on waiting list
2015, June 15th: deadline for payment of fees (non-payment will result in places being offered to candidates on the waiting list)
We would like to ask you to circulate this announcement to all those who may be interested in this School. The leaflet of the School may be downloaded from the web site, or directly from this link: http://magnetism.eu/esm/2015/doc/esm2015-flyer.pdf
