Analytical Research Infrastructures of Europe (ARIE) just released a joint position paper addressing potential viral and microbial threats. This way, the consortium enhances its cross-border, multidisciplinary collaboration to offer Europe a strong and valid weapon against the present COVID-19 challenge and other possible, similar future crises. The ARIEs are [...]
EMFL is proud to be part of the Analytical Research Infrastructures of Europe (ARIEs) consortium. Recently, we published a joint position paper highlighting how a common, complementary approach will strengthen the European analytical research infrastructures collectively and will address societal challenges of the Horizon Europe Missions framework programme. The [...]
Due to the outbreak of Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and the spread of related COVID-19 infections worldwide, with travel restrictions introduced by many countries, the European Magnetic Field Laboratory stopped its operational activities. Users scheduled for user operations were rescheduled to a later date.Meanwhile, signs of alleviation of the COVID-19 crisis are [...]
Wuhan, capital city of Hubei province in the People‘s Republic of China, was the first urban center worldwide to get hit hard by the Corona pandemic. Now, months later, the situation on site is slowly getting back to normal. On April 8, 2020, the Wuhan lockdown officially ended. Meanwhile, [...]

He came from the Forschungszentrum Jülich, where he was a member of the Executive Board and has been responsible since November 2007 for the research [...]
Together with partners the three European Magnetic Field Laboratories, joined in EMFL, have been awarded two EU Horizon 2020 grants: one to develop all-superconducting user magnets beyond 40 Tesla (2.9 M€), and one to expand EMFL’s industrial and user community (4.9 M€). With these grants, EMFL will strengthen its [...]
HFML-FELIX has been awarded 15.1 million euros for the development of advanced instrumentation and new experimental techniques. The grant is part of The National Roadmap for Large-Scale Research Facilities of the Dutch Research Council (NWO) which enables the building or renovation of research facilities with international allure. HFML-FELIX represents [...]
