Welcome to the 24th International Colloquium on Magnetic Films and Surfaces (ICMFS-2022), which will be held as a hybrid conference from July 10-15, 2022 in Okinawa, Japan.

Pursuing the idea of free circulation of scientists, the ICMFS-2022 will bring together scientists from all areas of magnetism in lower dimensions. The Colloquium aims at exchange of new results and ideas for advancing the field of magnetism at surfaces, interfaces, in micro- and nanostructures as well as of spin-dependent phenomena.

The structure of the Colloquium will be a single session style conference, consisting of invited and oral talks given by world leading experts from research institutes, universities and industry. There will be poster sessions, where attendants and particularly early career scientists and students are encouraged to present their work related to the fields covered by the ICMFS-2022.

The ICMFS-2022 will also hold the IUPAP prize ceremony, plenary talks by the awardees of IUPAP Magnetism Award and Néel Medal 2021 (Agnès Barthélémy, and Nicola Spaldin), and invited talks by the winners of IUPAP Young Scientist Prize (Early Career Scientist Prize) in Magnetism 2019–2022 (Julia Mundy, Jiadong Zang, Can Onur Avci, TBD).

Although the ICMFS-2022 will be held as a hybrid conference, we encourage you to consider participating in-person to enjoy the intensive discussions with other participants at this single-session style conference. However, recognizing the uncertainty with the travel restrictions during the ongoing pandemic, you do not have to decide on the style of your participation (in person or virtual) at the time of submitting your abstract, but you will have time to do so until the beginning of July.

IUPAP policy statements

1. Free Circulation of Scientists: The principle of the Universality of Science is fundamental to scientific progress. This principle embodies freedom of movement, association, expression and communication for scientists, as well as equitable access to data, information and research materials. In pursuing its objectives with respect to the rights and responsibilities of scientists, the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) actively upholds this principle, and, in so doing, opposes any discrimination on the basis of such factors as ethnic origin, religion, citizenship, language, political stance, gender, or age.IUPAP should only sponsor conferences and events at institutions and in countries that uphold this principle. If scientists are excluded from attending IUPAP-sponsored international conferences by a host institution or country on the basis of any of these factors, IUPAP should register its concern at the highest level of that institution or country, and should not sponsor any future events in that country until such exclusions have been eliminated. [ Section 1.(http://iupap.org/sponsored-conferences/conference-policies/)]

2. Harassment at Conferences: It is the policy of the International Unionof Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) that all participants at an IUPAP-supported Conference will enjoy a comfortable experience, and that they will treat each other with respect at all times. The conference organisers will appoint two advisors at the conference who will consult with those who have suffered from harassment and who will suggest ways of redressing their problems, and an advisor who will counsel those accused of harassment.
