In May 2023, the HFML-FELIX technical user support group, Peter Albers, Lijnis Nelemans and Michel Peters, from Nijmegen visited the LNCMI pulsed-field facility in Toulouse. The aim was the exchange of knowledge on various magnet and measurement technologies between the two laboratories. Scientists and engineers from the LNCMI warmly welcomed the Nijmegen team and enjoyed two days of intensive discussions with their colleagues. Topics included magnet and cryostat technology, materials science, manufacturing techniques, probes, optical measurement techniques, and data acquisition. It was a very successful and entertaining visit for both sides, allowing the exchange of innovative ideas.

This fifth edition of the EMFL Days was organized in Kerkrade from September 19-21. About 120 EMFL staff members gathered right on the Dutch-German border, benefiting from Rolduc Abbey‘s sublime ambience and a serene autumnal atmosphere. The aim of the meeting was to continue to learn more about each other’s work at the different sites, exchange ideas, and define a common strategy for the future of EMFL. This included scientific work, but as well work on technological and administrative aspects, giving also a podium to express concerns about soaring energy prices. The program was divided into two parts: A [...]
