On April 10th, 2025, we hosted the MAGNELIQ Symposium as part of the [[www.magneliq.eu|MAGNELIQ]] project, "A MAGNETO-ELECTRIC LIQUID – TO SENSE BETTER". The project is coordinated by Prof. Dr. Darja Lisjak and carried out by the Department of Materials Synthesis and Complex Matter in collaboration with partners from the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences (Czech Republic), CNR-IOM (Italy), the University of Maribor, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Informatics (Slovenia), and the high-tech SME Prensilia SRL (Italy). The first part of the symposium, dedicated to the scientific community, featured presentations of key project results—most notably the development of novel soft magneto-electric materials, supported by theoretical modeling. In the second, application-oriented session, we demonstrated how these materials have been translated into advanced contactless sensor technologies, including a miniature magneto-optic angular position sensor and a force sensor designed for use in supportive medical robotics. These innovations represent a significant step toward the integration of smart materials into next-generation sensing systems, with promising potential for both scientific and industrial impact.
