Call for Papers
It is our great pleasure to announce the 25th Soft Magnetic Materials Conference (SMM), to be held in Grenoble,
France, the international capital of French Alps, form
2 to 5 May 2022. SMM25, as it has always been since thefirst event at Torino, Italy in 1973, brings academic andindustrial specialists together to share and spread thelatest advances on all aspects of soft magnetic materials.

Presentation

Digest submission and publication of papers

The conference program will consist of invited keynote
speeches, oral and poster presentations. Authors arerequested to indicate their preference for giving an oral orposter presentation on the electronic submission form. Theeditorial board will make the final decision on the assignment of papers to sessions and presentation format. The
invited presentations will be selected from the submitted
digests by the editorial board. The duration of the presentations will be adapted to favor the exchanges during the oraland poster sessions.

Authors are invited to submit 1-page digest, in line withthe themes of the conference, in the format available on theconference web site. All digest must be submitted in PDF
format directly on the conference website via the online
submission system. Digests sent via email or regular mailwill not be processed or acknowledged. After a peer-review process, the authors of the accepted short papers
will be invited to present their research work at SMM25,
by oral or poster presentations, and to submit 4-page full
papers for possible publication in a special issue of a Journal (envisaged in the Journal of Magnetism and MagneticMaterials). More details about the format are posted on theconference web site. Authors will be informed of the status of their submission via e-mail on 15 December 2021.

Each paper must be presented by an author. No-show paper
will not be eligible for submission to the special issue journalfor publication. Poster presentations simply consisting of a
hard copy of the paper is inappropriate and will be marked
as a no-show paper. For more instructions on presentation
formats please check the conference web page.

Topics•••The  conference  will  provide   all  participants  with  opportunities to fruitfully exchange the latest developments,ideas and their experiences on the fields of materials properties, fundamental studies in magnetism and simulations,applications and their design during technical sessions.

•••With your active contributions of submitting papers andpresentations as well as active participation, the SMM
2021 surely will be an academically enriching, socially enjoyable, and truly memorable experience for all participants.

•On behalf of the board of the international steering committee, the editorial board and organizing committee, we cordially invite you to come to Grenoble, France, to attend SMM25.

Grenoble, capital of the French Alps surrounded by aspectacular natural landscape, is the second France’s mostimportant centre of scientific research and high-tech industry after Paris. University town with several large institutions and research facilities, Grenoble is also known
for its outstanding quality of life, its museums and gastronomy. Host of the 1968 Winter Olympics, the city centeris the focal point for a metropolitan area of over 450,000
inhabitants, 60,000 of them students. Surrounded by themountain ranges of Chartreuse, Vercors and Belledonne,
the city lies on the bank of the river Isère. In Grenoble, youcan love city life and wildlife at the same time, enjoy winterand summer altogether, mountain hikes and contemporary
art exhibitions on a same day, you may strongly support
sustainable development and be keen on archaeology, too.
