Course Contents

We are inviting a combination of outstanding and renowned international experts in the field of applied superconductivity. These researchers will deliver lectures on important aspects of applied superconductivity which will be centred around and illustrated by few examples of application of interest for the community.

The course lectures will be followed by hands-on practice and computer-based exercises. The aim of these exercises will be to equip students with the main concepts and methodologies for developing a numerical model of superconducting devices. By the end of the school, the students will have acquired knowledge of numerical modelling techniques for different physical aspects of superconducting applications.

Posters Competition and Award¹

Students are asked to prepare a poster (A0 vertical maximum size) on their current research. During the poster competition, students will have exactly 2 minutes to present it to the jury. The poster competition will take place on Tuesday 18th afternoon. All students are invited to let their poster visible for the whole week to share their research with other participants and teachers. Awards will be presented to the best posters. Everyone is very much encouraged to participate!

¹ Supported by IEEE CSC – Council on Superconductivity Young Professionals, Dr Erica Salazar (CFS, Cambridge, USA).

Certificate of Attendance

At the end of the course (Friday afternoon), Students who attended all sessions during the week will receive a certificate of attendance.

Final Exam

At the end of the course (Friday afternoon), Students will be asked to sit a multiple-choice test.
