Topical Group on Magnetism and its Applications

GMAG LogoThe American Physical Society Topical Group on Magnetism and its Applications, or GMAG, represents one of the fastest-growing scientific sectors of the APS.

Membership in GMAG — an annual investment of only $10 for APS members — not only helps you keep up with the fast-paced field of Magnetism but also provides the following features:

  • A convenient way to connect with other members of the magnetism community
  • The GMAG Newsletter, distributed biannually
  • The opportunity to shape the GMAG-sponsored sessions and symposia at the March Meeting, 94 sessions in all for 2019. The Magnetism sorting category received 840 abstracts, which is ~8% of all the abstracts submitted.
  • Access to GMAG-sponsored graduate student awards and sponsorships
  • Potential to increase the number of invited talks on magnetism at the March Meeting
  • Potential to increase the number of APS Fellows sponsored by GMAG
  • The opportunity to help shape the future of Physics in the US by participating in GMAG-sponsored student outreach activities and Congressional visitations.

GMAG Student Travel Award
To increase student participation and involvement in activities essential to GMAG and the APS as a whole, GMAG usually sponsors up to ten Student Travel Awards for the March Meeting. Because the 2021 March Meeting will be held entirely online this year’s awards will be limited to the reimbursement of the student registration fee. To be eligible, students must register and participate the March Meeting, and should submit an application, which can be downloaded from the GMAG website. Applications should be submitted by email to Marcelo Jaime (mjaime@lanl.gov) by November 25, 2020. Please write “GMAG Student Travel Award” in the subject line of the email.
