IRradiation Effects on HTS for Fusion
17 – 22 June 2025, Gallipoli, Italy
News:
Registration will be opened soon and the all-inclusive fee (full workshop program + hotel + all meals + all events + transportation from/to airports/railway stations) will be around 1.300 €
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:
