Magnetic fields play an important but often little understood role in many astrophysical scenarios. In astrophysical bodies, magnetism often drives their observable behaviour, making them outshine the rest of the sources. Typical and spectacular examples are neutron stars, but in our vicinity also the Sun and Jupiter represent fascinating magnets, not to speak about the Earth itself.

More than a talk, this seminar is supposed to be a multidisciplinary brainstorming session, regarding magnetic field dynamics and observable imprints on different kinds of astrophysical objects.
