Developing Standards in Magnetics: IEEE Magnetics Society and IEEE Standards Association Workshop
Theme 1: Standardizing Sensors
Date: Thursday, 9 July 2026
Time: 14:30–19:30
Location: Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands
Registration: Participation in this workshop is FREE of charge.

Magnetic sensing and actuation technologies are rapidly advancing across automotive, industrial, biomedical, MEMS, and emerging quantum applications. However, progress toward large-scale deployment and certification is often hindered by inconsistent measurement protocols, limited reference materials, and fragmented reporting standards. MSSROAD2030 aims to bridge the EMSA research community with metrology institutes, industry leaders, and standardization bodies to:
- Identify urgent gaps in measurement, interfaces, materials, and system integration
- Define concrete standardization priorities
- Establish a working roadmap toward ISO, CEN, and EURAMET initiatives
