Spins, Waves and Interactions Workshop in Greifswald
The 9th international workshop on new trends in spintonics, Spins, Waves and Interactions 2024, will take place from August 27 to August 29, 2024 in Greifswald, Germany. The main focus topics are altermagnets and non-collinear antiferromagnets, magnons and ultrafast spin transport.
We are proud to announce another edition of this traditional international workshop and networking event, which aims to bring together both established scientists and young, talented researchers in the field of spintronics. As usual, we will meet at the pleasant venue of the Krupp Kolleg with a series of invited talks and contributed posters. New this year is the organisation of a social programme: an excursion to the nuclear fusion facility in Wendelstein, a public lecture with hands-on experiments, or water sports in the Baltic Sea after the workshop. Student participants will also have the opportunity to apply for student travel grants.
Registration
To register, please, complete the registration form and email it to michaela.lammel@uni-konstanz.de before June 1, 2024.
There is no registration fee for participants. Registration includes free lunch at the workshop venue.
Student participants can apply for a travel grant to cover their travel costs (up to 200 EUR) and a social grant. To apply, please contact the organisers.
Accommodation
Please make sure you book your hotel or other accommodation well in advance. There is no special conference hotel, but there is a limited number of hotels in Greifswald and demand is high in the summer. Please note that accommodation costs will be covered by the participants.

Social program
Conference dinners
The conference dinners will be held at Brasserie Hermann, Gützkower Straße 1 (Tuesday Aug 27) and Goldmarie, Fischstraße 11 (Wednesday Aug 28).
Public lecture and experiments
The public lecture with experimental demonstrations by Prof. Angela Wittmann and Dr. Alexander Mook will take place on Tuesday 27 at 18:00 (to be confirmed) at the Krupp Kolleg lecture hall and it will introduce various topics in spintronics to a wider audience.
Excursion to the Nuclear fusion facility
Wendelstein 7-X at the Greifswald branch of IPP is a large stellarator with modular superconducting coils, which enable steady state plasma operation in order to explore the reactor relevance of this concept. The excursion will take place on Thursday 29 at 16:00 (to be confirmed) and will include an introductory lecture on the topic and a visit of the experimental hall with the device.
Water sports events
As Greifswald is so close to the Baltic Sea, there are multiple possibilites for water sports (kite surfing, stand-up paddeling, windsurfing, etc.). Typically there is a small group of people who take the opportunity either before or after the workshop to deepen the connections and to get to know each other at the camping in Loissin. There, you can meet casually to kite or windsurf or just to enjoy some time at the sea. If you are interested in joining please book these activites by yourself. Please find here the webpage of the camping and the kite surfing school where you can do courses if you are interested (no previous knowledge is necessary).
If you want to get in contact with other people joining the weekend activities, please contact Michaela Lammel who will help with organizing the groups.
