Frontiers in Magnetism 2025

July 22-23, 2025 – Messina, Italy

Frontiers in Magnetism 2025 aims to highlight current research in the field of magnetism, both from the fundamental and application point of view. It represents a chance for exchanging ideas and creating collaborations among researchers.

The workshop will be held in person at the University of Messina. It is organized by University of Messina with the support of the Italian Chapter of IEEE Magnetics Society, and of Petaspin Association.

Chairs: Giovanni Finocchio, University of Messina (gfinocchio(at)unime.it) and Anna Giordano, University of Messina (agiordano(at)unime.it)
