Abstract
Magnetic fields are everywhere in space and their presence is believed to play a crucial role in the formation and evolution of many astrophysical objects. Despite of their importance, our knowledge about evolution, structure, and origin of magnetic fields is still poor and numerous questions remain unanswered. The full-Stokes capability of the future high sensitivity and resolution spectro-polarimetric surveys promises a transformational advance in our understanding of cosmic magnetism. These surveys, combined with innovative approaches incorporating observational, theoretical, and numerical techniques, will permit to improve our knowledge of the incidence, strength, and morphology of magnetic fields in the interstellar medium, in the intra- cluster medium, at the boundary of galaxy clusters, and possibly in the bridges which join clusters in the Cosmic Web. In this review, we will focus on the status of research and future developments related to magnetic fields in galaxy clusters.
