On the Highlights of the 4th International Conference on Superconductivity and Magnetism-ICSM2014, Antalya, Turkey

Abstract

The 4th Edition of International Conference on Superconductivity and Magnetism-ICSM2014 was held at Kervansaray Lara Hotel and Convention Center in Antalya, at the very heart of touristic and historical places between 27th April and 2nd May, 2014. The 1st edition of the ICSM was held in 2008 in a small town called Side, about 70 km away in the southern part of greater city—Antalya. The second ICSM was held at the city center of Antalya; Porto Bello Hotel was the venue in 2010. The 3rd one (previous), ICSM2012 was held in Istanbul. ICSM has become a large conference with over thousand contributions from internationally recognized reputable research institutions from over 65 countries. With these values, ICSM has grown to be the largest gathering with a truly international level as one of the most prominent conferences on superconductivity and magnetism with focusing on fundamental matters of interest in materials and applications together with the interplay of superconductivity and magnetism and the new addition of enabling technologies based on “cryogenics and engineering materials &applications”. The wide range of ICSM2014 topics varies from fundamentals, materials to applications. Cryogenics materials and engineering aspects were included in the topics and attracted many worldwide scientists. Over 1200 abstracts were
