| MSI, Materials Science International Services GmbH, Germany Chairman: Dr. Bernd Grieb |
The 4th MSIT Seminar on Rare-Earth Materials & Magnet Technology, held in Germany and firmly positioned within the European magnet community, is a unique opportunity for professionals in management and technology to gain a comprehensive overview of the complete supply chain of magnetic materials. It covers resources of rare-earth ores, mining, concentration, separation, and the transformation into rare-earth oxides and metals, followed by alloying into magnet powders and the processing of all major types of permanent magnets.
The seminar places this topic in a global context while reflecting the important role of Europe within the international magnetics landscape. It addresses global sourcing and supply, recent economic developments, and geopolitical factors influencing magnet markets and technologies. In addition, it explains the materials science foundations that determine magnetic properties, technology, and applications.
Scope
The seminar focuses on permanent magnets and the secure, sustainable supply of raw materials. It begins with fundamentals of rare-earth elements and magnetism, as well as the principles of rare-earth chemistry, thermodynamics, phase constitution, and measurement techniques.
By following the full value chain from mine to magnet—and including recycling and circular economy approaches—the seminar highlights pathways toward sustainability and environmental responsibility. At the same time, it provides a global perspective on applications and future market developments, alongside emerging opportunities for diversified and resilient sourcing strategies.
