The Industrial Partners Club (IPC) of EMFL had its second webinar on June 20th, 2024. It brought together around 40 participants, of which 15 were from industrial companies, 5 from public institutions completed by scientific and technical staff from EMFL. The webinar started with a brief presentation of the EMFL by the Industrial Liaison Officer introducing the facilities, European projects, and the tools to communicate and collaborate with industry. The Industrial Partners Club is one of these tools and the webinar was the occasion to give new momentum to the IPC. We informed the participants of our presence at some industrial events such as the Big Science Business Forum (BSBF) in October 2024, which will allow us to meet some of the participants in person. After that, members who had volunteered to present their activities had 5 minutes each to present their company and their interests in high magnetic fields and/or the EMFL. The speakers were from various sectors, such as the manufacturing of coils or parts of them, metal forming, and the production of all types of sensors and other tools of measurement or control systems.
The industrial partners presenting were:
> Eric FANIO, CEO of SEF Technologies;
> Rafael DELLA GIUSTINA, Product Manager at Renaissance Fusion;
> Denis JOUAFFRE, Materials and Processes Engineer at Innovaltech;
> Olivier MASSEGLIA, Field Applications Engineer at Paragraf;
> Marc BERTHAUD, Sales Manager at FT Mesures;
> Antoine DARIDON, Business Development Manager at Metrolab;
> Daniel MARCHANTE, Business Manager Science and Digital Industry at Procon Systems.
Members of public institutions giving presentations were
> Olivier MALOBERTI, Researcher at UniLaSalle;
> Thanos PAPAZOGLOU, Business Development Officer at the ESRF;
> José ANTAO, Industrial Liaison Officer at the National Agency of
Innovation of Portugal and member of the Accelerator Science and
Technology Industry Permanent Forum (AIPF).
The various presentations initiated lively discussions. Afterwards, the EMFL presentation was sent to the participants as well as to all members on the IPC mailing list, including a link to answer a short survey of satisfaction. With that we aim to attract more persons for the next webinar, as well as to improve our ways of communicating with the industry.
