WELCOME
On behalf of the Organizing and Program Committees, it is a great
pleasure for us warmly welcoming you at the 25th International
Conference on Magnet Technology in 2017, from August 27 to
September 1 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
It is the first time that a Magnet Technology conference is hosted
in the Netherlands and for this reason, we have chosen the capital
city of Amsterdam and its RAI Congress Center, a natural and
perfect choice.
The conference organization is a joint effort of the Applied Superconductivity
and Cryogenics Laboratory at the University of
Twente and the High Field Magnet Laboratory of the Radboud
University Nijmegen.
The conference covers plenary, oral and poster sessions and an
exhibition of 49 industrial partners from Monday until Thursday.
You are warmly invited to join us on Sunday for the Welcome reception,
on Tuesday for the Exhibitor’s reception, and finally for
the Conference Banquet on Thursday evening in the National
Maritime Museum. Technical visits to five laboratories on Friday
conclude the program.
During the Conference opening session the IEEE Council on Superconductivity
awards the ‘Award for Continuing and Significant
Contributions in the Field of Large-Scale Applications of Superconductivity’,
the ‘Max Swerdlow Award for Sustained Service to
the Applied Superconductivity Community’ and finally the ‘Graduate
Study Fellowship in Applied Superconductivity’.
In addition, MT25 Best Poster Awards are presented during the
conference closing session on Thursday.
We wish you all a great stay in the Netherlands and we truly hope
for an inspiring meeting and pleasant week together.
On behalf of all organizers,
Herman ten Kate
Andries den Ouden
