Workshop goals

We are glad to invite you to participate at the FORC Workshop that will be held in New Orleans on the 30th of October, 2016 (Sunday) at the New Orleans Marriott, one day before the start of the MMM Conference.

The registration fee ($50) will cover the cost of the meals (continental breakfast, lunch and hors d'ouevre servings over the poster session at the end). We warmly acknowledge the generous support from Lake Shore Cryotronics for the sponsorship of the Workshop.

The Workshop will include a set of Keynote and Invited Speakers and poster presentations from the participants. We also intend to give the option to publish selected papers in the journal IEEE Magnetics Letters.
