The European Magnetism Association

The purpose of the European Magnetism Association (EMA) is to promote the development of magnetism and magnetic materials in Europe, through rising the visibility and the impact of research on fundamental and applied magnetism. EMA acts as an umbrella organization for activities in magnetism in Europe, giving magnetism a strong voice in the concert of physical sciences.EMA addresses various purposes:* Education and training in the field of magnetism* Advancement in the understanding of magnetism, and dissemination of the results of magnetism research in Europe* Developments in magnetism-related applications* Promote links with companies active in magnetic materials and devices* The representation of the magnetism community in science policy related affairs* Interactions with the magnetism community worldwideKey actions of the European Magnetism Association include:* The organization of the Joint European Magnetic Symposia (JEMS). This is the largest and most comprehensive conference on magnetism in Europe. JEMS focuses on a broad range of topics embracing applicative and fundamental aspects of magnetism, as well as novel magnetic materials.* The organization of the European School on Magnetism (ESM). This is a yearly event for the higher education of young European scientists in the field of Magnetism, also promoting networking and creating effective links between academics and the industry.* Promoting dissemination and networking through MAGNETISM.eu web site. Besides hosting ESM and JEMS information, it provides a comprehensive world-wide agenda of magnetism-related events, a market for posting job offers related to magnetism, a broad-scope series of links.* Keeping the community informed through a monthly newsletter.
