SUMMIT(ISIS)

International Superconductivity Industry Summit (ISIS)

The purpose of ISIS is to promote international cooperation and open discussion between national industries, governments and universities on the status and future of global research and development in superconductivity. The ISIS will explore opportunities for effective exchange of information on research findings and progress, identify technology gaps, and discuss international cooperative programs in promising industrial applications of superconductivity.

In May 1992, the first ISIS was held in Washington, DC in the United States. Since then, the Summits were held in Europe , the US and Japan. The ISIS-17 meeting was held in October 30-31, 2008 in Tsukuba, Japan.

CONECTUS

CONECTUS ( Consortium of European companies Determaine to Use Superconductivity): was formed in 1993 by organizations with promote the commercialization of superconductivity, in order to strengthen cooperation among EU countries. The success in establishing CONECTUS is largely due to efforts made by the Sir Martin Wood of the U.K. and Prof. Dr. Helmut Piel of Germany . An organization which encompasses the entire EU is revolutionary, raising the hope of stronger cooperation between Japan, the United States and Europe.


CCAS

CCAS (Coalition for the Commercial Application of Superconductors) was established in October, 2002 as a successor of CSAC. The mission of CCAS is to provide a united voice on public policy issues of common interest to superconductivity stakeholders. Members of CCAS seek to ensure that the benefits of superconductors are fully realized and accelerated by supporting robust federal government support of related programs and activities. CCAS provides a way for members to exchange information, educate key policy makers, and unite to advocate for key priorities and adequate funding of programs on superconductor-related research, development and demonstration projects
