Meeting Goals

The IAPG emphasizes program coordination and dissemination of technical information to increase the effectiveness of Government programs, avoid duplication, identify technology gaps, and maximize success in research efforts. The MWG meeting on Superconducting Technologies will provide a forum for a cross-cutting review of current government research activities in this technology space within the IAPG Member Agencies (Army, Navy, Air Force, DOE, NASA, and DOT).

Presentations will focus on addressing the material, modeling, and improvement challenges in superconducting power applications with topics covering:

• Defect-Tolerant Conductors or Wires
• High-Temperature Superconductors
• Superconducting Switches/Inverters
• High-Frequency AC Losses
• Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage Material Issues

Meeting Attendees – Please Review Carefully

Participation is limited to U.S. persons – citizens or lawful permanent residents (LPRs), also known as permanent resident aliens (PRAs) or green cardholders.
