MISCON: The Midwest Superconductivity Consortium, part 2
Abstract
The Midwest Superconductivity Consortium has been established to address the materials related issues limiting the commercialization of high (Tc) superconductivity technology and in response to Congressional direction to create a new midwest superconductivity consortium. High (Tc) superconductor materials are of interest to the Department Energy because they have the potential to impact strongly the energy related needs of this country. The Consortium brings together a demonstrated group of university personnel with talents in the areas critical to the needs of understanding and developing these new superconductor materials. The charter membership of the Consortium includes Purdue University, University of Notre Dame, Indiana University, Iowa State University, University of Missouri and The Ohio State University, with the Consortium center being located at Purdue University. The management structure of MISCON consisting of both administrative and technical components has been established. The Director, and members of the Steering Committee and of the Program Committee have been selected. The Program Committee has selected two major research thrust areas for Consortium programs. Project proposals have been solicited and following an extensive review, fourteen projects were selected for funding. Work on these fourteen projects is now underway.
