IV. Industrial and career perspective

Practicals

Practical are organized to practice the use of numerical, analytical or experimental techniques, related to topics covered by the lectures. They are proposed both to onsite and online participants.

Question-Answer sessions (5-10h)

The purpose of a research School is to provide young scientists with the basics in a working field. With this respect interactivity between students and lecturers should be promoted. Like in the previous editions, a key aspect of this interactivity is the possibility to raise questions at the end as well as during the course of the lectures, both for onsite and online participants. Besides, several sessions of questions take place, during which the lecturers or voluntary students present in more detail issues raised by the students during the lectures or anonymously through a question-box.

Library

A library consisting of a large set of books dedicated to various aspects of Magnetism is on display during the entire School. Its purpose is first to get students aware of the existing books, get acquainted with their use, and also serve as a support for activities during the School.

Posters

We encourage participants to bring posters to present their work. Poster will be displayed at all times during the school, plus with dedicated poster tims slots. Students are also asked to present their poster in a one-slide teaser as an exercice to summarize their work. Several poster prizes will be awarded, including a voucher for free attendance to the next Joint European Magnetism Symposia conference.

Tentative Program

Accommodation and Social activities

GENRAL NOTE: Cash payment is not common in Sweden. There are many shops even bakeries which do not accept cash (kontantfri butik). You can pay with your phone or credit/debit card.

Housing: Hotell Botanika, Skolgatan 45, 753 32 Uppsala

The hotel is in the vicinity of the Linné garden (Linné Trädgraden) a nice traditional garden in the city center. The cathedral (Domkyrkan) and city center with shops and restaurants are in walking distance.

From Uppsala Central Station to Hotell Botanika

Once you rached Uppsala central station to the hotel you can walk to the hotel. It will take about 15 min. Alternatively, you can take any bus from the central station which stops at Skolgatan, e.g. 108 (direction öresundsbro Enköping) or 804 towards Dalby Vik Balingsta. Bothe start from platform C4.

Find your way from the hotel to the university

By foot: Walking takes about 45 min. It is a nice stroll through the old part of the city and along the river.

By bus: You can also take city bus no.8 from Skolgatan (direction Akademiska Sunnersta). Exit at Regementsvägen and cross the street towards the forrest and walk on Regementsvägen for about 300m. Enter the big glas building (house 10).

Ångström laboratory

The European School of Magnetism is pleased to welcome participants to the Ångström Laboratory at Uppsala University, one of Sweden’s leading environments for research and education in physics, materials science, chemistry, engineering, and advanced technologies.

Located in the historic university city of Uppsala, the Ångström Laboratory offers modern lecture facilities, research infrastructure, and an inspiring scientific atmosphere. It provides an ideal setting for bringing together students, researchers, and lecturers from across Europe to exchange ideas and explore the latest developments in magnetism.

Address:
Uppsala University, Ångström Laboratory
Regementsvägen 10
752 37 Uppsala, Sweden

Welcome reception (Monday August 17, 2026) and poster sessions – Foyer of house 10—Left of main entrance and the Foucault pendulum

Lectures (from Tuesday 18th onwards) will take place in the lecture hall Sonja Lyttkens, House 10, ground floor
