The Applied Superconductivity Center at the National High Magnetic Field Lab in Tallahassee, Florida will hold its second Fusion Magnet Community Workshop from January 21 to 23, 2025.
This workshop aims to better define R&D gaps and research objectives of the U.S. fusion magnet community. The workshop will include fusion companies, public fusion program participants, and universities in the U.S. fusion magnet community. Significant technology maturation efforts are underway to demonstrate the compact high field approach for commercial fusion. Given recent progress in superconducting magnet technology driven by the private fusion sector, Fusion pilot plant (FPP) concepts and supporting magnet technologies are being developed in parallel to meet aggressive U.S. fusion program schedules. Significant opportunities exist to improve maturity of superconducting magnet technology in support of high reliability, availability and economically viable FPPs in sufficient numbers to meet the US program goal. The rationale and content for a public program in fusion magnet technology is to support the goals of the Bold Decadal Vision, revolving around the achievement of commercial fusion by the mid 2030’s. Based on the input and general consensus of workshop attendees, the committee will now focus on producing a framework document to guide the magnet community’s research, facilities and workforce strategy to de-risk advanced superconducting magnet technology on the path to commercialization.
The registration is being provided by the Florida State University Conference Center to comply with University policies and to provide a secure environment for financial information.

The only facility of its kind in the United States, the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (less formally known as the Magnet Lab) is the largest and highest-powered magnet laboratory in the world, headquartered in a sprawling 370,000-square-foot complex near Florida State University in Tallahassee. The lab also includes sites at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and the University of Florida in Gainesville. Together these three institutions operate the lab, collaborating in a unique, interdisciplinary way to advance basic science, engineering and technology in the 21st century.
The Magnet Lab
Established by the National Science Foundation in 1990, the lab is a national resource open to both curious visitors and world-renowned scientists. Centralizing the country's greatest magnet-related tools, resources and expertise is not only efficient and cost-effective, but also encourages fruitful, collaborative research at the highest level. Every year, more than 900 visiting scientists and engineers from across the world conduct experiments using our state-of-the-art equipment. Our magnets are far larger, far more powerful and far more complex than the everyday magnets most people are familiar with. Many were designed, developed and built by our magnet engineering and design team, widely recognized as the finest in the world.
