Physik-Zentrum Bad Honnef, Germany</p><p>Multiferroic materials challenge our fundamental understanding of
magnetic and ferroelectric order. The related properties, including the
magnetoelectric coupling, make them promising for future applications in
information technology. A strong magnetoelectric coupling is
incompatible with traditional mechanisms of ferroelectricity, and so far
no multiferroic material fulfilling all technological requirements has
been found. To overcome these difficulties, new routes need to be
treaded in materials research. In consideration of this, active
scientists in the field will be brought together in the 505<sup>th</sup>
WE-Heraeus seminar, in order to discuss the search for new materials
and mechanisms, and their better understanding. The latter requires the
development of new experimental and theoretical methods, which will also
be a subject of the seminar. Younger colleagues will profit
particularly from the exchange with experienced researchers in the
field.</p><div><h2><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3" style="font-weight: normal;">The preliminary list of confirmed invited speakers includes :</font></h2><p><strong>T.
