Neil Mathur, Sohini Kar-Narayan and Xavier Moya organised back-to-back meetings on caloric materials in February 2016, first at the Royal Society; and then in the Moller Centre of Churchill College (Cambridge), with support from the Winton Programe, APL Materials and Adande Refrigeration. The meetings brought together the world leading proponents of materials and heat-pump devices in which thermal changes are driven by changes of magnetic field, electric field and mechanical stress.
Proceedings of the London meeting and Proceedings of the Cambridge meeting are now published.
