Magnetic fields are key actors in the evolution of all stellar objects, through their ability to influence the angular momentum evolution, internal mixing or mass-loss of stars, as well as their activity phenomena or star-planet interactions. The present Symposium is aimed at offering a synthetic view of recent progresses in the young and growing domain of stellar magnetism. This research area is now benefiting from the rapid, combined development of observations and numerical simulations, enabling stellar physicists to take magnetic fields into account in most models of stellar structure and evolution.
