Abstract - Magnetism Research in the Central Europe Region

Magnetism is entering a new regime where symmetry, topology, and ultrafast dynamics converge. This session spotlights altermagnetism, breakthroughs in novel magnetic platforms, van der Waals magnets, multiferroics, skyrmion-hosting chiral systems, and ferrimagnets. Talks will cover synthesis, band engineering, state-of-the-art probes, spin-orbit coupling, and topologically protected magnetic phenomena. By bridging between fundamental investigations, theory, and device concepts, the session will outline the path to spintronic devices.
