Spins, Waves and Interactions Workshop in Greifswald
The 11th international workshop on new trends in spintonics, Spins, Waves and Interactions 2026, will take place from August 24 to August 26, 2026 in Greifswald, Germany. The main focus topics are magnons, non-conventional magnetic materials, ultrafast methods, and spin- and magneto-transport.
We are proud to announce the 11th 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. This year, the event is co-organized as a joint workshop with the COST Action CHIROMAG, a similarly focused platform within the EU-funded network COST. The aim of the Action is to strengthen collaborations among researchers in the European space and beyond, and to advance research in the areas of magnetism, chirality, and broken symmetries.
As usual, we will meet at the pleasant venue of the Krupp Kolleg with a series of invited talks and contributed posters.
Registration
Registration is not open yet.
There is no registration fee for participants. Registration includes free lunch at the workshop venue and, probably, a free conference dinner (to be confirmed).
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. The accommodation costs for the invited speakers will be reimbursed by the COST Action CHIROMAG.

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).
Details on organized sport activities will be announced.
