Scope of the Symposium

The symposium is intended to bring togheter scientists and engineers interested in all aspects of experimental and theoretical research in magnetic and superconducting materials, as well as in their technological applications. Contributions are expected in topics ranging from basic properties to recent developments in magnetism and superconductivity at nanoscale. Emphasis will be given on new materials, properties and devices.
