Travel tips
We have excellent weather this year (typically around 22°C). More details can be found on our departmental weather satation and BBC weather.
For those travel from London Heathrow Airport, BritRail Pass will offer some discount within a limited period for non-U.K. residents.
JSPS York-Tohoku Research Symposium on
"Magnetic Materials and Spintronics"
including
The Cantor Nanoscience Lecture
to be given by Prof. Hideo Ohno of Tohoku University
27-29 June 2011
Ron Cooke Hub, University of York
On 29 June 2011, this symposium successfully finished with 136 participants.
Photos, Funding information available from the JSPS, JST & EPSRC.
Cantor Nanoscience Lecture Photos are also available.
Spintronics is one of the emerging fields in condensed matter physics and has been utilised intensively in magnetic recording, i.e., hard disk drives. In spintronics, Japan has a leading position in high-quality film growth and device fabrication. The U.K. leads in characterisation and modelling.
This symposium will offer an excellent opportunity for both the U.K. and Japanese researchers, including students and postdocs, to access the latest research outcomes and to discuss their results with the world-leaders. It will also encourage future collaborations under the funding schemes to be presented by JSPS, EPSRC, JST and Royal Society. These collaborations will be sought during the symposium dinner and laboratory visits.
We continue our existing collaborations and will organise follow-up meetings at least once a year in York and Sendai/Tsukuba in turn. Additional collaborations will be arranged during the symposium and can apply for funding, e.g., EPSRC-JST Cooperative grant and Royal Society International Collaboration scheme.
We also intend to seek to extend our existing links between the U.K. and Japan to one between the E.U. and Japan. We have invited Profs. Felser and Hillebrands, who are involved in a Japan-Germany Cooperative Programme, to discuss future joint applications to the E.U.
This symposium is funded through the Symposium Scheme for Japanese researchers based in the U.K. jointly with the EPSRC-JST Strategic Japanese-UK Cooperative Programme (EP/G051631/1 and EP/H026126/1).
