The Conference on ultrafast spintronic phenomena and materials (USPM) 2020 was the 1^st conference organized by and for the PhD students of the CRC/TRR227.

It covered a broad range of topics, including ultrafast spectroscopy and multiscale theoretical modelling of spin dynamics.

Our goal was to gain further insights and encourage collaborations by connecting lectures from invited speakers, student presentations and lively discussions.

The USPM took place at the Hotel Ostrov in the Bohemian Switzerland, Czech Republic in March 02 - 05, 2020.
