Our friend and colleague Jean Heyvaerts passed away prematurely in July 2013, leaving for future development many bold and inspiring projects that he initiated about magnetic fields and plasma dynamics. This conference aims at giving an overview of his diverse scientific interests, bringing in his deep and novel ideas. Discussed topics will include magnetic structures from stellar to cosmological scales, reconnection, heating of the solar corona, jets and accretion, relativistic plasmas and turbulence, and cosmic-ray acceleration, to name but a few.

Jean Heyvaerts was also a committed teacher who inspired generations of astronomers with his cheerful enthusiasm and remarkable lectures. This tribute will be an opportunity to gather his former disciples, colleagues, friends, as well as the current actors in this field of plasma astrophysics, from all around the world. The meeting will discuss the state of the art of the research in these fields and their future evolution.
