Forthcoming Institute Conferences
Superconductivity Group AGM
| Date: | Fri, 30 January 2009 |
|---|---|
| Venue: | The Institute of Physics |
| Organised by: | the Superconductivity Group of the Institute of Physics |
Introduction
This is the annual scientific meeting of the Institute of Physics Superconductivity group, which accompanies the Annual General Meeting of the group. There are four invited speakers who will talk on a range of topics in fundamental and applied aspects of superconductivity research. There are also six shorter slots which will be filled by talks selected from submitted abstracts to the meeting as well as a poster session. Hence, this is a very good opportunity for UK superconductivity researchers to showcase their work. Two confirmed speakers on the application/ device side of the meeting are: René Flükiger (Geneva) – recent advances in use of superconductors for high field applications, and Alexander Kozorezov (Lancaster) – application of superconducting tunnel junction as detectors.This year the meeting is sponsored by the Bristol/Cambridge/St Andrews EPSRC portfolio partnership, as well as the Superconductivity group itself, so the registration fee is as low as 20 pounds for students (IOP members). So please use this opportunity to come to the meeting and present your work. As an added incentive there will be a prize of £150 for the best poster by a student.
