IRradiation Effects on HTS for Fusion
17 – 22 June 2025, Gallipoli, Italy
News:
Online registration is open (May 14th).
The all-inclusive fee is 1.300 € and covers the accommodation for 5 days, all the meals, coffee breaks, all the events (including social dinner), transportation from/to airports (Bari and Brindisi) and from/to rail station (Lecce). Accompanying persons can join with an additional cost of 700 €.
Scope:
The goal of the workshop is to create a strong network of researchers that unites the competences coming from the nuclear fusion community with those from scholars who worked on the high temperature superconductors (HTS). In our view this is a crucial step to tackle the several challenges related to the effects of particle radiation on the HTS tapes that are enabling the development of compact fusion reactors.
Important dates:
