Spin is a fundamental attribute of electrons that governs various properties of matter. Recent interest in the physics of spin current, a flow of spins, opened a new dimension of research, as typically represented by spintronics. Spins also play important roles in the study of structure and dynamics of biological molecules. The purpose of the symposium is to overview some aspects of the field on one hand, and to stimulate interactions among participants (invited researchers and students, and students of Nagoya University) on the other hand. In addition to research talks and posters, there are several tutorial lectures that will facilitate interdisciplinary communication.
