The MOTTERIALS conference will highlight the most recent developments in the physics of materials whose behavior is dominated by strong correlations between electrons. Researchers from three focus areas:

1. The synthesis of novel materials displaying correlated phenomena such as multiferroism, frustrated magnetism, colossal magnetoresistance and charge and orbital ordering,
2. Their characterization using the latest advances in neutron diffraction, x-ray scattering, high-resolution microscopy and photoemission, and
3. The understanding and prediction of new strongly correlated phenomena using state-of-the-art theoretical and computational techniques,

will pool their expertise to define and address the most pressing current problems in the field.
