Like other committee members, the selected participants will review abstracts (Large-scale, Materials, or Electronics) prior to the meeting, and then during the meeting, the participants will assist in creating the conference sessions and assembling abstracts into those oral and poster sessions.

To address this gap, ELEVATE is pleased to present the <strong>Virtual Abstract Writing Workshop<\/strong>, a program designed to help students and early-career professionals craft higher-quality scientific abstracts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A strong abstract captures the reader\u2019s attention in just a few words while effectively summarizing the research process and results. Because English is the predominant language of scientific communication, non-native English speakers may face additional challenges in this area. This workshop will provide examples of well-written abstracts, highlight common pitfalls and how to avoid them, and share practical resources to support non-native speakers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This event was hosted by <strong>Chiara Tarantini<\/strong> from Florida State University.

In this <strong>Virtual Manuscript Preparation Workshop<\/strong> we will go through some of the most common elements of style which can make scientific papers more impactful and easier to read. Our workshop will touch many areas: from basic scientific objectivity, to paragraph and manuscript structure, as well as storytelling and flow. We will show various examples of sentences, figures, tables, and paragraphs which can be transformed to create a clearer message\u2014making the key take-aways stand out and, most importantly, be remembered by the readers. The event is open to all ASC 2026 participants. Registration is required. Please join the discussion!

The students have an opportunity to network with senior members of the community while working within groups of similar technical interests to assemble the sessions. Students will also have the opportunity to explore other topics within Applied Superconductivity with experts in each field. Welcoming graduate students to these senior-level events will promote their future participation. We need to ensure that whether the student proceeds to a career in industry or academia, they are encouraged to remain engaged in the Applied Superconductivity community. Introducing graduate students to conference organization work ensures that a trained next generation of scientists is prepared to continue assembling conferences that bring our community together with technologically relevant topics.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;Detailed Short Course Information&#8221; style=&#8221;gradient&#8221; gradient_color_1=&#8221;mulled-wine&#8221; gradient_color_2=&#8221;pink&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.appliedsuperconductivity.org%2Fasc2026%2Fshort-courses%2F|title:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.appliedsuperconductivity.org%2Fasc2026%2Fshort-courses%2F&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1763403965196{margin-top: 15px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;background-color: #7a9390 !important;border-radius: 1px !important;}&#8221; el_id=&#8221;Plenary&#8221;]<span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #ffffff;\"><strong>ELEVATE Plenary Session<\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1761598870836{margin-top: -55px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Early Career Plenary&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:20|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1761601997957{padding-bottom: 15px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1774368855540{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As part of the ELEVATE Program and its mission to promote professional and leadership development, the <strong>Early Career Plenaries<\/strong> event will be held at ASC 2026.
