European Project Nanopyme next event will take place in Madrid

The European Project Nanopyme was created with the aim of designing and developing permanent magnets capable of replacing the existing magnets of certain technological applications.

In order to educate and raise awareness of the project itself, the Nanopyme project has organized and attended to several events in diferent cities across the EU . Its next appointment is in the IMDEA Nanociencia Institute of Madrid, where they will hold  a 'workshop' on rare earth magnets and their applications from the 14^th to the 16^th of September 2015.

The workshop will provide a wide overview on the state-of-the-art, development and perspectives of novel rare-earth free permanent magnets. (neodymium magnets and samarium magnets)

The scientific programme includes the following topics:

• RE-Free Nanostructures and Composites for Permanent Magnets

• Numerical Simulations and Modeling

• Applications of RE-Free Permanent Magnets

• Novel RE-Free Hard Magnetic Materials

• Searching for Alternatives to RE-PMs: EU Projects and Future Initiatives
