Welcome to FUNMAT2019

We are pleased to invite you to Kraków for the 4th edition of the International

Conference on Functional Molecular Materials, FUNMAT2019 which will be held on

25th–27th November 2019.

The meeting is intended as an international forum for researchers working at the border

of chemistry, physics and materials science to present and discuss the newest

achievements in the area of molecular functional materials, molecular magnetism and

molecular spintronics. We sincerely believe it will continue the success of the previous

FUNMAT meetings and provide many opportunities to share ideas and consolidate the

molecular magnetism and molecular spintronics communities. This year, our conference

is co-organized by the COST Molspin Action, being particularly related to its Working

Group 3 (WG3) "Molecular spins for quantum technologies". Therefore, the special topic-

related sessions will be organized.

We look forward to seeing you in Kraków!

Kraków and, above all, one of the greatest heritage sites of Polish history and culture. The

Castle holds permanent exhibitions, such as Royal Private Apartments, State Rooms with

a great collection of figural tapestries, the Crown Treasury and Armoury. The Wawel

Royal Castle is a must-see point on the map of Kraków. For detailed information please
