INTRODUCTION:

The ESF Scientific Program Highly Frustrated Magnetism (HFM) is an open networking activity. It promotes:

• Conferences and workshops, short and longer term visits to allow for a significant progress in the field.

• Deadlines: applications for short term visit grants (max. 15 days) can be submitted anytime. Applications for longer exchange visit have a deadline twice per year.

• The official HFM Webpage of the European Science Foundation (ESF) contains administrative details of our program. This page is the only way to submit proposals.

STEERING COMMITTEE:

The group is the mediator between the ESF and our scientific community. The appropriate national contact persons can be chosen from the committee: (coordinates)

Belgium: S. Hoste, Croatia: A. Smontara, Estonia: R. Stern, France: P. Mendels (Chair), C. Lacroix, Germany: P. Lemmens, Israel: A. Keren, Slovakia: M. Orendác, Spain: B. Martinez, Switzerland: F. Mila, UK: S. T. Bramwell, and the following guest members from non-participating countries Hungary: K. Penc, Italy: P. Carretta. Poland: A. M. Oles.

HFM is financed by 11 member organisations of the ESF, drawn from 11 countries. It is expected to run for five years from 2005. If your country is not involved in the programme, this is not necessarily a bar to your participation.  However, non-participating countries are strongly encouraged to join the programme.

* Pyrochlores (A. Keren, St. Bramwell)
* Strong magnetic fields (R. Stern, F. Mila)
* Orbital degeneracies (A. Oles, C. Penc)
* Kagome (Ph. Mendels, A. Lauchli)
* 2D, triangular (P. Carretta, D. Poilblanc or F. Becca)
* low D (M. Orendac, D. Cabra)
