International Conference on Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloys
June 2-7, 2019Prague, Czech Republic
Dear Colleagues,
Time is running fast and ICFSMA, the only world-wide conference about magnetic shape memory, is again here! With now firmly established triennial period it is the sixth conference in row. I am very pleased and honored that I can invite you to Prague, the city of hundreds of spires. I believe that not only spires outside but also inside will inspire us to pursue and provide excellent future of the field.
This, of course, depends only on you and your exciting and stimulating contributions. Although we will have only selected number of invited talks, the main platform consisting from contributed talks and posters, I believe that any contribution, no matter in what format, will be met with interest and friendly atmosphere as it is good practice of this conference. We have great tradition to follow which obliges us to try our best.
I hope you will find Prague inspiring not only at conference venue and in discussion with colleagues but also by being in enchanting city itself.
Looking forward to meeting you at the ICFSMA’19!
Oleg Heczko
Chairman of the conference
The sixth International Conference of Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloys ICFSMA is over. More than hundred participants heard more than 65 oral presentations including 11 invited lectures covering all aspects of the research in the field of magnetic shape memory phenomena and also magnetocaloric effects related to martensitic transformation. The presentations were expanded by poster session with more than thirty posters running from Wednesday to Friday providing lively discussion forum for all participants.
We gathered in Prague from all over the world, the biggest group coming from China followed by Czech, German and US participants. The overall statistic is here.
The conference clearly showed that MSM field is alive and kicking and demonstrates the bright future of the field.
I personally hope that all of you have enjoyed not only conference but also Prague itself with its magic and baroque beauty.
The international conference committee decided to keep the same conference scope in the future and discuss the places of following conferences. Next conference will take place in College Station, USA from May 15th to 20th, 2022, under stewardship of Ibrahim Karaman from TAMU.
Farewell Prague, Welcome TEXAS!
Oleg Heczko,
chairman of Prague conference

The conference will take place in the Conference and Social Center „House of Professed“ of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University in Prague.
The „House of Professed“ is located in the Malostranské Square 2/25, Lesser Town, Prague 1, right next to the church of St. Nicholas in the heart of Prague. This early Baroque style building is a former Jesuit college – residence of professors, highest ranking representatives of the Order. Now it is a university building lively with the students of physics and mathematics.
Accommodation is not included in the registration fee.
Participants are kindly asked to find accommodation by themselves using known internet providers.
There are a lot of small hotels of various price levels catering for all needs in the walking distance from conference venue.
Moreover, Prague has efficient city transport and thus even accommodation farther away is no problem.
Prague is one of the most safe cities in the world,
there is no no-go zone.
We recommend to book early
