The Summer School will consist on a series of introductory lectures given by internationally recognized leading experts. The school will span a wide range of topics across spin transport in nanostructures connected by common theoretical or experimental methods, with the main aim to give the students an overview of some of the most intriguing open questions and of the technical abilities required to be able to make successful top level research.

TOPICS
• Preparation of magnetic nanostructures
• Current driven magnetization reversal and domain wall movement
• High-frequency magnetic dynamics on nanoscale
• Magnetic tunnel junctions
• Ultra sensitive detectors of magnetic field, biomedical and biological application of spintronic devices.
• Magnetic trilayers and multilayers
• Spintronics (including magnetic semiconductor based )
• Imaging of magnetic nanostructures
• Vortices in magnetic and superconducting nanostructures
