EUCAS 2017 in Geneva!

From 17^th to 21^st of September 2017 Geneva is hosting EUCAS 2017 (13^th European Conference on Applied Superconductivity) at the International Conference Centre of Geneva (CICG) (see www.eucas2017.org). The conference is co-organized by CERN, University of Geneva and EPFL.

EUCAS2017, with more than 1’000 attendees, is the most important European event in this field. The Group of Applied Superconductivity is contributing to the scientific program with seven presentations: four orals and three posters. The titles of the contributions are listed here:

• Generation of 25 T: field quality and field profile measurements of a 4 T REBCO insert coil for a 21 T LTS magnet, Presenting author: Christian BARTH;
• High-Field Thermal Conductivity of OP Bi-2212 wires, Presenting author: Marco BONURA;
• Ionic liquid gating of YBa₂Cu₃O_7-x grain boundaries, Presenting author: Alexandre FÊTE;
