About > Programme Structure

The core scientific programme will consist of invited talks and contributed posters, covering all aspects of the research topics of Magnonics, High-Frequency Spintronics, and Ultrafast Magnetism.

Invited talks

Invited talks will be allocated based on speakers’ self-nominations and will have one of the following formats, identified by the candidate in their self-nomination:

• an in-depth report of a recent discovery (10 min for the background and motivation, 25 min for the speaker’s novel results, 15 min for the discussion, impact and outlook, 10 min for questions);
• a topical roadmap (10 min for the background and motivation, 20 min for the review of the topic and most important recent result(-s), 20 min for the roadmap and outlook, 10 min for questions);
• a topical tutorial (5 min for the background and motivation, 20 min for the basics, 20 min for the advanced material and recent results, 5 min for the outlook, 10 min for questions);
• another format within the scope of the Round Table, as approved by the Scientific Advisory Board.

The time split is advisory, and the overall duration of invited talks will be set once the selection has been completed.

Contributed posters

Contributed posters may have one of the following formats, identified at the time of submission:

• a report on a complete research study of significant scientific value;
• a preliminary report for ongoing research that would benefit from additional discussion and insight;
• a presentation of a recently started (typically, collaborative) research project;
• a presentation of a newly established laboratory or team and their team roadmap;
• another format within the scope of the Round Table, as approved by the Topical Gatekeepers.

Feedback

During the Round Table, each participant will cast (anonymously) their commendations for their favourite poster presentations, taking into account their declared format and excluding those co-authored by themselves or their colleagues; the numbers of commendations received by individual presenters determine the recipients of the Best Poster awards.

After the Round Table, the audience (all participants except the invited ones) will cast their commendations for the invited talks, taking into account their declared format and excluding those co-authored by themselves or their colleagues; the numbers of commendations received by individual invited speakers determine their promotion to the Scientific Advisory Board.
