SPIN Galapagos 2025
Between May 25th and May 30th, 2025, the third edition of the International Workshop on Spintronics will take place in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, gathering top of the line experts on spintronics and science and technology of magnetic materials. This Workshop is a continuation of the previous two editions, organized in Ollantaytambo (Perú, 2019) and Bariloche (Argentina, 2022), and covers a wide variety of cutting-edge research topics, such as spintronics, spin-orbitronics, nanomagnetism, etc. This meeting will take place within the beautiful and unique environment of the Galapagos Islands, surrounded by a blooming nature and the exotic fauna. Only a limited number of attendees are allowed to this meeting.

Galápagos Conservancy
Planning a Trip to Galápagos
The Galápagos Islands are governed by a Special Law that supports conservation and the preservation of its unique environment. The Galápagos Governing Council is responsible for the overall management of the Archipelago, working to ensure a balance between the populated areas and protected areas. For this reason, the movement of visitors and inhabitants in and out of the Islands requires careful management.
