Theoretical and Experimental Magnetism Meeting (TEMM) 2026
Date:
13 July 2026
Location:
Cosener's House, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK
Time:
The meeting will run from 10:00 on Monday 13 July to 16:00 on Tuesday 14 July
Talks will cover current research in both theoretical and experimental magnetism, and is intended for anybody who wishes to become familiar with current research in this area, with the special emphasis to bring scientists from UK and abroad together to foster long-term collaborations.
This year it will be the 24th TEMM! The meeting is free to attend and all are welcome.
Registration is now closed. We look forward to seeing you at TEMM.
