Magnetic Frontiers is the premier topical conference on emerging aspects of fundamental and applied magnetism. The forum provides a range of plenary and invited talks delivered by key researchers in the field as well as oral and poster presentations. As there will be a small number of participants (about 100 people), the conference provides a unique environment for researchers to communicate and discuss the latest developments in magnetism with the leading scientists.
The first conference in the series is related to the emerging topic of Topological Insulators – unique electronic materials that, as well as having a bulk band gap, like in an ordinary insulator, have protected conducting states on their edge or surface that are possible due to the combination of spin-orbit interactions and time-reversal symmetry.

The conference will cover the following topics:
• Materials and interface design
• Characterisation technics
• Electronic transport in topological materials
• Theory and modelling of topological materials
• Prospective for applications
