Status: Outputs and outcomes completed
A new centre of innovation to coordinate the interaction between key industry players, Oxford University, cryogenics companies, and end users (including SMEs) on the Harwell campus and at the Culham Centre for Fusion Research Campus.
Superconductors are materials with no electrical resistance which are vital for powerful new technologies in healthcare, large experimental facilities like CERN, quantum instrumentation and many other fields.
Delivery Partner: University of Oxford
The Centre has developed a series of experimental and testing facilities to allow easy interaction between academia and industry to solve relevant problems. The Centre has also helped to train people with necessary skills in superconductivity which can be transferable to other relevant industries.
Increased industry collaboration in high-tech innovative sectors
Boost Oxfordshire’s international strength in applied superconductivity
