will be organized by I. Lukyanchuk and J. A. Eiras from 09 to 20 April 2012 in Natal (Brazil).  This objective of this Workshop is to bring together the world ' s leading experts, both from Universities and industry, working on the problems of multiferroics and related materials (Ferroelectrics, Ferromagnets, Relaxors, Ferroelastics, etc) and their application in HT industry to ensure the dissemination of their knowledge and innovative ideas ranging from fundamental to applied areas of Physics of Multifunctional Materials. By its nature, the subject "multiferroics" unifies the field of ferroelectricity and magnetism, that traditionally were the subject of research of different groups. Therefore the workshop will encourage inter-domain collaboration, and to share experience of these different research fields with one another. In this way, we intend to foster the exchange of ideas and methods, to highlight the apparent and the hidden similarities of different ferroic systems and approaches, and to stimulate new and fruitful cooperation across subject frontiers, and between experimental and theoretical groups. 

will be organized in Marrakech in Dec. 2010 by I. Lukyanchuk and D. Mezzane in frame of ICTP-UNESCO program of foster the research in developing countries.

The objective of the School is to give to the Master and PhD students and young researchers from developing Mediterranean and African countries the general vision of the contemporary nano-physics, practical knowledge of the modeling methods, and simulations. The teaching will start from the general theoretical concepts of nano-world. Then the major spectrum of the special problems of nano-physics will be reviewed.  The laboratory training will include both theoretical and experimental methods. Special emphasis will be given to problems related with region-important problems like solar energy, materials and technologies for local industry, application of satellite remote sensing methods etc. The school is subscribed in the activity of collaboration programs VOLUBILIS, FP7-ROBOCON and in the network Mediterranean Electronic Materials (MeM). It will be held at the Faculty of Science and Techniques of University of Marrakech.

The program of the School includes:

ARW  "Physics of Computer Technologies" was organized by I.Lukyanchuk,  and J. Eiras 1-5 of March 2010 in the International Institute of Physics in Natal (Brazil). Its   objective was to bring together the world ' s  leading experts, both from  industry  and Universities, working on the problems of materials and physical processes for future computer technologies to ensure  the dissemination of their knowledge and innovative ideas  ranging  from fundamental to   applied  areas   of  Physics.  The multidisciplinary nature of the proposed workshop allowed to familiarize the participants with different subjects, to encourage inter-domain collaboration, and to share experience of different research fields with one another. In this way, we intend to foster the exchange of ideas and methods, to highlight the apparent and the hidden similarities of different systems and approaches, and to stimulate new and fruitful cooperation across subject frontiers, and between experimental and theoretical groups.

The nonexclusive range of topics includes

    - New  Data Processing  Technologies,
    - Information transmission: Photonics and Spintronics
    - Advanced  Materials and processes for memory Devices
    - Displays and Information visualization
    - Energy Storage Materials
    - Smart Ferroelectric, Multiiferoics, Magnetic and Superconducting materials.

The originality of this Workshop is the gathering of the leading Physicists working for the common objective: construction of new computers. At the same time we don't suppose the common subject of research. The multidisciplinary of the Workshop is the key point that permits to participants to overview the global situation on the future computer market and stimulate their research in the most promising and realistic direction. Workshop will help to the Academic researchers to find the contacts with Industrial colleagues and to the Applied researchers to recognize the basic emergent ideas of the fundamental research trend.
