Welcome to NFAM2024

According to the recent developments in magnetism in quantum spin systems, the international conference on New Frontiers in Advanced Magnetism (NFAM), held at Hokkaido University (Sapporo, Japan) from 5th - 9th August, 2024, aims to provide an opportunity to bring experts in both theory and experiment in this field at the same place, discuss together the new results, and find new open questions.

The topics of NFAM cover Theory and Experiments on

Two summer schools on theory and experiments in magnetism whose lecturers are Prof. Oleg Tchernyshyov and Prof. Andrej Zorko, respectively, are also held before the main confrence. The summer shcools are organized by Hokkaido Summer Institute in Hokkaido University. The details of the summer schools are availabel here.
