Fourth Seeheim Conference on Magnetism 28-Mar-2010 - 1-Apr-2010 Holiday Inn Frankfurt City-South, Frankfort, Germany A Conference series on magnetism will be organized in Germany under the auspices of Technische Universitδt Darmstadt and Karlsruhe Inistitute of Technology. The aim of the conference is to bring together scientists in the field of Magnetism. The 4th Seeheim Conference on Magnetism, SCM2010, will be focusing on the magnetism of nanostructured materials, interfaces, multilayers and nanoparticles. The most recent results will be presented in the form of plenary lectures, invited and contributed talks and posters. Latest developments in the field of magnetism of magnetic materials are correlated with nanostructures in the form of particles, surfaces, multilayers, interfaces and interface dominated materials. These novel materials enter into many aspects of magnetism.

Sponsored by the UK Magnetics Society. Rare Earth Summit 2010 22-Apr-2010 - 23-Apr-2010 Beijing International Convention Center, Beijing, China The rare earth group of key elements is counted among the most important resources for a country's development of high-tech industry. The past year has been eventful for the world and remarkable for the rare earth market which has begun to retreat after the rapid growth of the previous two years. The financial crisis has continued to deepen since the second-half of 2008, and very much altered the commercial aspect of the rare earth market. Due to the fundamentally catastrophic economic conditions that have only taken place once in the last 100 years, rare earth prices dropped sharply after peaking during the last decade. The price of neodymium, a barometer of the rare earth market, dropped 50% last two years while most other rare earths dropped by 20-30%. China is still the largest country in terms of rare earth reserves, production, consumption, and exportation. The Chinese government has focused on its policy to protect rare earth resources and optimize efficiency of the market. The question remains, however, how to coordinate the industrial chain of rare earth production, processing, and exporting enterprises? Japan, another big consumer of rare earth, is suffering the most severe recession in 35 years, and the country's automotive and electronics industry has dropped sharply. How do Japanese rare earth enterprises adjust their supply? Are there any updated progressions and problems in the field of rare earth applications? There are innumerous changes in rare earth supply around the world. What is the prospect of development and supply for rare earth in the US and Australia? What is the rare earth market tendency in Europe? Learn more at the conference website. MAY 2010 SMMA Spring Management Meeting 4-May-2010 - 6-May-2010 Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa, Fort Myers, Florida USA Alan Beaulieu, Chief Economist for the Institute for Trend Research (ITR), will present, "An Economic Forecast- Where are We and What is on the Horizon?" Other scheduled presentations include: Preparing for the Recovery - How to Come About and Set a New Course? Supply Chain Management - Steering Through the Vast Ocean of Opportunities and Risks Exploring the Green Initiative- Is Green the New Gold? An Investors View On the Motion Control Industry - Bull or Bear? Government Update - Playing Within All the New Rules Register at the SMMA website. JUNE 2010 Sensors Expo & Conference 7-Jun-2010 - 9-Jun-2010 Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont, Illinois, USA Sensors Expo & Conference is the only industry event in North America exclusively focusing on sensors and sensor-integrated systems.
