Welcome to ISABEL “Nordic-Baltic” Regional Meeting taking place in Estonian, bringing together researchers, students, and professionals in the field of magnetism and materials science across Europe. Organised by Estonian Magnetism Laboratory ( EstMagLab ) and National Institute of Chemical Physics and Biophysics (NICPB/KBFI) together with the ISABEL EU Project of the European High Magnetic Field Laboratory (EMFL), this three-day event offers engaging talks, poster sessions, and networking opportunities in historical Vihula Manor, near Tallinn, Estonia.
The meeting will be devoted to high magnetic field in materials research (chemistry, physics, engineering).
Whether you’re an early-career scientist or a seasoned expert, you’re invited to join us in advancing knowledge and collaboration between our Nordic-Baltic community and other groups in Europe, comprising ISABEL consortium, both in terms of experimental opportunities and in-house research.
