MMA25 is still in the early stages of exciting developments; the confirmed dates are 8 & 9 October 2025, but there may also be additional activities on 7 & 10 October. Watch this space for more information!
WHY SERBIA? WHY EASTERN EUROPE?
Holding MMA25 in Niš, Serbia will be the furthest east event the Society has ever held. But why hold it there? What is it about Eastern Europe that makes us want to take the Society there?
In short, the opportunity. Holding MMA25 in Niš will act as an introduction to the skills, facilities, and huge opportunities of Eastern Europe.
This region of Europe hosts a dynamic ecosystem of companies and research institutions advancing magnetic technologies in electrical machines, sensors, and other applications, across sectors including industrial, air conditioning, automotive, aerospace, energy, maritime, and others.
We’ve identified more than 50 companies and universities based in Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and beyond, some of the world’s leading companies, such as
Audi, Nidec, Domel, Škoda, SENIS; other relevant companies include Johnson, RVmagnetics, Magnetix, Dimagnetica, EMS Power Machines, Posco International, Rotex Electric, Emrax, VYBO Electric, Rosenergomash, and in the materials sector Magneti Ljubljana, JFE Steel, Mkango Resources, KOLEKTOR, and Neo Performance Materials.
There are several factories and facilities delivering magnet recycling, magnetic encoders, electrical steels, materials for or complete SmFeN and NdFeB magnets, design and production of electrical machines for robots and hand tools up to locomotives and wind turbines, flux-gate and induction magnetometers, linear position sensors, separators, and more.
In the academic fields, the countries of Eastern Europe host the Technical Universities of Niš, Novi Sad, Košice, Kharkiv, Warsaw, Kraków, Bialystok, Łódź, Varna, Prague, Ostrava, Bucharest, Budapest, and the Jožef Stefan Institute, amongst others.
All these organisations and more offer a collection of knowledge and practice relatively untapped by the Society. We will be making major efforts to engage with as many of these organisations as possible, so that MMA25 will be an opportunity find out more about what is going on in this exciting region, making connections for the future for the Society and for our members.
