The orbital angular momentum of elementary excitations is gaining attention as an important degree of freedom to understand material properties.

As a follow-up of the Orbitronics workshop held in Germany last year, we organize the "2023 Orbitronics workshop" in South Korea. Subjects of this workshop include the orbital angular momenta of various quasiparticles (electron, phonon, magnon) and their dynamics. 

Date & Place                                                                                                                      

November 20-22, 2023

IBS-KAIST Campus (1st floor) of Building E22 (see the map below), KAIST, Daejeon, South Korea

Please check "how to get to KAIST (Main Campus)" Here.

The program can be found Here.

Registration                                                                                                           

If you are interested in attending, please submit your application through Here. Thanks to generous financial support from KAI-X and Korean Magnetic Society, there will be no registration fee for the workshop. 

Due to the space limitation, we can accept up to 70 registrations at best, which include 30 reserved for invited speakers. Registration confirmation will be sent later. Additionally, we will be hosting a poster session, and priority will be given to those who present a poster. 

Poster Presentation                                                                                              

We plan to have about 30 poster presentations. If you are willing to present a poster, please download the abstract template Here. 

Please upload the abstract when you submit the application through Here.
