The workshop will focus on a broad range of topics including technological developments and fundamental aspects of magnetism, as well as novel magnetic materials. Presentations will consist of plenary, semi-plenary and contributed talks as well as poster sessions. A number of invited speakers will give lectures on important recent advances in the field. The attendance of young students is welcome.
