The 22^nd edition of the "Colloque Louis Néel" will take place from tuesday 17^th to friday 20^th of june 2025, at the domain Lou Capitelle in Vogüé (Ardèche). The conference is organized by the "Transport, Nanomagnetism and Materials for Energy" of the Institut Lumière Matière laboratory (Lyon).

The "Colloque Louis Néel" is a French conference, taking place every 18 months since the early 90s. It gathers in a unique place (generally a vacation center), during 3 days, more than 200 scientists working on the properties of magnetic thin films and nanosructures. This conference, which is a milestone for the French community of magnetism, is a particularly valuable moment to discuss the most recent results in the field of nanomagnetism and spintronics. It is also an opportunity to set up new collaborations, leading to orignal and fruitful scientific projects, in France and abroad. Although it gathers mainly people from France, most of the presentations are given in English and the conference is welcoming non-French-speaking researchers!

A major objective of the "Colloque Louis Néel" is to promote the work of PhD students and post-docs. It is a rich moment for scientific discussions and meetings, organized around oral contribution (by young researchers) and poster presentations.

The preceding edition of the conference held in novembre 2023 at "domaine du Lazaret" in Sète.

Practical information about abstract submission (for oral or poster presentation), registration, conference program and venue etc. will be communicated in the future. The deadline for abstract submission should be in january 2025, while for the registration it should be at the end of february.
