The Asian Union of Magnetics Societies (AUMS)
The AUMS was initiated by the four magnetic societies—the Magnetics Society of Japan (MSJ), the Korean Magnetics Society (KMS), the Taiwan Association for Magnetic Technology (TAMT), and the Chinese Society of Magnetic Materials and Applications (CSMMA). The framework of the AUMS was first proposed at the 4th Asia Forum on Magnetics in Taiwan in 2007. One year later, at the 5th Asia Forum in Beijing, the foundation of the AUMS was decided.
The first Council meeting was held in Sendai on March 25, 2009, where a new international conference of AUMS (IcAUMS) was initiated and to be held every other year. The first inaugural meeting was held in Korea in 2010.
In addition, the Russian Magnetics Society (RMS) and the Vietnam Magnetics Society (VMS) were admitted to join the AUMS in 2019. Indonesian Magnetic Society (IMS) was admitted to become a member in 2022.
Since its establishment on January 1, 2009, AUMS has been contributing tremendous efforts to promote advances in the fields of magnetism, magnetic materials, and applications in the Asia Pacific region. IcAUMS has been very proud of providing an outstanding platform for all scientists, experts, and entrepreneurs to communicate and exchange recent academic and industrial developments. So far, it has been successfully held six times in Korea (2010), Japan (2012), China (2014), Taiwan (2016), Korea (2018), and Indonesia (2023).
The 7th IcAUMS is now waiting for you in Okinawa, Japan, April 21-24, 2025.
