On February 11, 2021, the Laboratory of Magnetic Soft Materials (MMML lab) of the University of Latvia organized a one day online seminar “Magnetic Soft Matter” with the participation of the leading researchers in the field in the frame of the 79th International Scientific Conference of the University of Latvia.

Abstracts had to be submitted on the MMML homepage (https://mmml.lu.lv/) until January 24, 2021.

Conference chair was prof. Andrejs Cēbers, who can be contacted via this e-mail: Andrejs.Cebers[at]lu.lv.
