  We show that the interplay between spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and the
paramagnetic response of itinerant electrons in proximitized
superconductor/paramagnet systems gives rise to the inverse spin galvanic
effect, i.e. generation of magnetic moment under the influence of the charge
current. Depending on the sign of the SOC constant and the system temperature,
the corresponding contribution to the magnetic response of the superconductor
can be either diamagnetic or paramagnetic. We discuss the relevance between the
discovered phenomena and the recent experiments on Pt/Nb heterostructures as
well as the puzzling sign change of the magnetic response observed in clean Ag
coated Nb cylinders.
