The IEEE Magnetics Society promotes the advancement of science, technology, applications and training in magnetism. It fosters presentation and exchange of information among its members and within the global technical community, including education and training of young engineers and scientists. It seeks to nurture positive interactions between all national and regional societies acting in the field of magnetism. The Society maintains the highest standard of professionalism and technical competency.

As part of the Chicago Section, the MagSoc Chapter provides a local interface to the worldwide network of the IEEE. In addition, we organize technical presentations, social events, and networking opportunities of interest to the magnetics community across the Chicagoland. For further information or to find out about volunteer opportunities contact our officers below.
