In September 2022, a team around M. Kläui organized the International Workshop on Topological Structures TOPO 2022 at the Institute of Molecular Biology at the University of Mainz. This workshop is the 7th installment of the TOPO conference series focusing on topological solitons, topological spin structures, topological textures in antiferromagnets and ferroelectrics, as well as excitations in these systems. Despite the travel challenges of the still ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to attract contributions from leading experts in the field from around the world joining the workshop large in person. The high number of up to 70 on-site participants fostered intense discussion between all participants of the workshop and made the workshop a lively and successful event.
