School academics organise cross-discipline meeting at Royal Society of Edinburgh Dr Olof Johansson and Prof. Euan Brechin recently organised a meeting on Photophysics of Molecular Magnets at the Royal Society of Edinburgh. The meeting brought together researchers from realted disciplines in chemistry and physics whose work often overlaps but who rarely have the chance to sattend the same conferences. There were plenary talks from Prof. Eugenio Coronado and Prof. Andrei Kirilyuk. Other speakers came from the areas of synthetic chemistry, condensed matter physics, and both theory and experiments. In total 49 people attended, which turned out to be the perfect size to allow efficient networking between all participants. It was an international workshop with participants from the UK (Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Imperial, Oxford, STFC), Germany, France, Poland, Spain, USA, Denmark, and Russia. We would like to thank the EPSRC, Royal Society of Chemistry (Faraday division) and the Royal Society of Edinburgh for funding. Publication date 15 Nov, 2019
