The coordinator: CNRS - LNCMI
CNRS is the largest governmental research organisation in Europe, with 1200 research units covering all fields of research. The “Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses”, LNCMI, was created on the 1st of January 2009 through the merger of the “Laboratoire des Champs Magnétiques Intenses” (Grenoble) and the “Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Pulsés” (Toulouse), and is one of the research infrastructures of CNRS. It has three main missions: - to generate the highest possible magnetic fields for research purposes; - to use these fields for in-house research and to develop the necessary scientific infrastructure; - to provide access to qualified French and European users to these high magnetic fields and the associated scientific infrastructure.CNRS Contact Person

Radboud University Nijmegen
The Radboud University is a private, not-for profit organization with significant government funding. The High Field Magnet Laboratory (HFML), jointly operated by Radboud University and the Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO) will participate in this project. HFML uses and develops high magnetic fields to carry out pioneering research by both in-house and external users. HFML has an ambitious Magnet Technology program and has recently commissioned a world record resistive magnet generating 38 T. A 45 T hybrid magnet is under construction and recently a dedicated free electron beam line connection has been established with the neighbouring FELIX laboratory. Within this Horizon2020 project the RU will coordinate the Specialization & Deployment activities.RU Contact Person

European Magnetic Field Laboratory
The legal entity of the European Magnetic Field Laboratory is an “association sans but lucrative”, with the headquarter located in Brussels (BE). EMFL’s objective, without profit aim, is to unite world-class high magnetic field facilities and to make them available for excellent research by users. EMFL is responsible for the management of access, networking and coordination activities of high field facilities in Europe. Its current members are CNRS, HZDR and RU as facility operators and stakeholders, the University of Nottingham and the University of Warsaw, the latter two on behalf of the UK and Polish user communities. In this role it will organize some workshops, be involved in dissemination activities and be involved in other coordination activities.EMFL Contact Person
