Organizers:

Peter Mohn and Jürgen Hafner

Scope:

This graduate-school wants to disseminate the present knowledge about magnetism and magnetic interactions in modern technologically relevant materials. To this end we invite both theoreticians and experimentalists as lecturers and participants. One of our attempts is also to bridge the gap between experiment and theory and bring together both worlds. Apart from the lectures, there will be time for individual discussions between the lecturers and the participants.

Venue:

Vienna University of Technology, 1040 Wien, Wiedner Hauptstraße 8 - 10

Registration:

Please register via e-mail to the conference secretary, Ms. Maria Nassey:

mailto:mn@cms.tuwien.ac.at
Please give your name, address, affiliation, dates of arrival and departure.

Students can apply for financial support by including a signed statement of their supervisor and their bank account including IBAN and BIC.

Please note, that any participant has to pay his conference fee in the first place. Students receiving support will be reimbursed after the end of the meeting.

Registration is only completed after transferring the conference fee.

Conference fee:

The early registration conference fee is € 200,- and includes lunches, coffee breaks and the conference dinner.

The participants are invited to present their scientific contributions as a poster (poster size A0 portrait).

There will be a poster session on Friday afternoon before the conference dinner, any contributor is requested to present his poster orally by showing a maximum of two slides, duration 3 minutes (micro-poster presentation).

Please send title of your poster and author-list to the conference secretary in order to be included in the final programme not later than April 10, 2009.
