Summer Technical Symposium on High-Temperature Superconducting High-Field Magnets Successfully Held in Shanghai

On August 19, the Summer Technical Symposium on High-Temperature Superconducting High-Field Magnets was successfully held at the China Fusion Shanghai Headquarters. Yu Xuefeng, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Deputy General Manager of China Fusion, and Xue Lei, Deputy Director of the Fusion Engineering Design Institute, attended the meeting. Xue Lei delivered an address on behalf of the Fusion Engineering Design Institute, extending a warm welcome to the experts present for their guidance. The symposium was moderated by Hu Xinbo, Director of the High-Temperature Superconducting Magnet R&D Department of the Fusion Engineering Design Institute.

The symposium invited research institutions including the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai Advanced Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, High Magnetic Field Science Center of the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhongshan Advanced Cryogenic Technology Research Institute, and Southwestern Institute of Physics of the Nuclear Industry, as well as universities including Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Fudan University, Lanzhou University, and ShanghaiTech University, and enterprises including Energy Singularity, Shanghai Superconductor, Eastern Superconductor, High-Field Technology, Chenguang Medical, Chenhao Superconductor, and CRRC Times Electric, with a total of 26 industry experts from 16 organizations participating.

The symposium showcased the phased R&D achievements in high-temperature superconducting magnet technology. Experts at the meeting conducted in-depth discussions on the technical challenges and put forward numerous valuable and constructive suggestions, further deepening understanding and building consensus. This injected new momentum into the practical cooperation and outcome implementation of the Yangtze River Delta High-Temperature Superconducting Magnet Technology Innovation Consortium, and is of great significance to the technological innovation and high-quality industrial development of high-temperature superconducting high-field magnets.

Relevant officials and key research personnel from the Science and Technology and Digitalization Department of China Fusion and the Fusion Engineering Design Institute attended the meeting.
