COVID-19 situation update – EMFL
Although all EMFL sites have resumed user operation, the COVID-19 crisis is still causing serious restrictions. Quite a number of the accepted and scheduled proposals could not be performed, mainly due to travel restrictions. Nevertheless, the Board of Directors decided to stick to the regular policy that proposals will remain valid for one year. Users with older proposals, that could not be executed, are asked to resubmit them. This concerns proposals granted in the call 120 and older. This facilitates the handling of all proposals and provides maximum clarity to all users and funding agencies. To keep up with [...]
SuperEMFL project has started!
The Super EMFL project started on the 1st of January, whithin the European programme Horizon2020. For the next four years 11 partners will conduct a research on designing a new high temperature superconductor magnet.

SUPEREMFL: TOWARDS ALL-SUPERCONDUCTING USER MAGNETS BEYOND 40 TESLA
The primary objective of the EU funded design study SuperEMFL is to add an entirely new dimension to the EMFL through the development of all-superconducting user magnets at unprecedented field strengths of 40 T and beyond, granting the European high-field user community access to such high superconducting magnetic fields, more magnet time, and novel low-noise high-sensitivity capabilities, whilst at the same time reducing operating costs and the EMFL environmental impact. SuperEMFL aims to develop a conceptual design report addressing all key questions concerning the technical and conceptual feasibility as well as the maturity of a major upgrade of the [...]
