The topic for the 2022 European School on Magnetism will be Basic Magnetism for Sustainable Development. The School is chaired by Leon Abelmann, in association with the magnetism communities of the Greater Region in Kaiserslautern (Germany) and Nancy (France).

Participation is offered in mixed format, either onsite in Saarbrücken, Germany, with a maximum of 100 participants, or online with most of the onsite activities available.

Like previous editions of ESM, the 2022 School aims at providing a thorough understanding of magnetism based on a broad series of fundamental lectures, while offering the latest insights into up-to-date aspects of magnetism with lectures focusing on a special topic. The objective of the 2022 school, fully in line with the objectives of the IYBSSD, is to cover a wide range of fundamental to functional phenomena, to serve as a critical evaluation of the use of Magnetism to address societal challenges. The School will be an opportunity for young scientists and lecturers from various fields to meet, share their expertise and build a network.

The School is addressed at young scientists, mainly PhD students and post-docs, both experimentalists and theoreticians. It will consist of an eleven-day training of lectures, team work and practicals provided by prominent scientists active in today’s research, interactive question sessions, student-lead projects, access to a library of magnetism-related books, and industrial contributions. Attendees and lecturers are requested to agree with the code of conduct of ESM.
