• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 257340272

This project is responsible for the coordination of the priority programme SPP 1538 SpinCaloric Transport (SpinCaT). It is intended to support the organisation of colloquia and focus meetings. The novel field of spincaloric transport will be established by different experimental and theoretical groups with specialities ranging from material science to ab-initio theory. By regular colloquia of all participants every year a coherent exchange of knowledge is obtained. Additional focus meetings will accelerate the exchange of know-how on specific topics. To establish an international network, the collaboration and exchange of scientists with partners abroad is supported. In order to intensify the exchange of knowledge, the internet platform www.spincat.info is established to reach a broader scientific as well as popular science audience. The active contribution of the student/postdoc body is supported by active support of colloquia and workshops organized by student representatives as well as by supporting student exchange.
