The combined workshop/school is devoted to the emerging field of ultrafast opto-magneto-electronics, that combines the ideas and concepts of opto-magnetism and spin transport with photonics for ultrafast low-dissipative manipulation and storage of information. Both light and spin currents can control magnetic order, but mechanisms as well as corresponding time scales and energy dissipation differ. The ideal will be to combine the best of both worlds, from short time scales and non-dissipative propagation of light and to nanoscale selectivity and strong interactions of spin currents.
