ASC 2026 Program Chair’s Welcome

We are proud to welcome you to ASC 2026 in Pittsburgh! The conference will offer a forum for sharing and discussing the latest updates and news in the field of applied superconductivity. As the world is in a transition period regarding future energy systems and our life choices (the way we live, move, eat, build and power things), we would like to support discussions on how superconducting solutions can contribute to a more sustainable world and what can be done as a scientific community. The unique phenomenon of superconductivity continues to provide new solutions for more efficient and novel technologies of energy, power, magnets, computing, electronics, detector, and other fields.

We are working together with the conference chair, the Large Scale, Materials and Electronics topical chairs and with the volunteer scientific program committee members to create an inspiring technical program and a welcoming event for all attendees. Breaking plenaries, engaging talks and posters will be part of the program.

Special sessions are being curated, to highlight select research fields. We encourage your suggestions, so feel free to contact us. Check back for updates as the program develops, and our wholehearted welcome to Pittsburgh!
