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 [...]
CHANGES IN THE EMFL BOARD OF DIRECTORS – GEERT RIKKEN STEPS DOWN AS LNCMI DIRECTOR
Since January 1, 2021, there have been some changes in the composition of the EMFL Board of Directors (BoD). Geert Rikken has stepped down as director of LNCMI and is succeeded by Charles Simon, who will join the EMFL BoD. Peter Christianen, director of HFML, fills the BoD chair position. Changes in the EMFL board do occur more regularly, as the chair position rotates every 2 years, but with Geert Rikken stepping down, a period ends. Geert is one of the founders of EMFL and has been involved in the European collaboration of the high magnetic field facilities from [...]
