To address the evolving goals of ASC as an educational foundation, we have launched the ELEVATE program. It is being designed to promote educational opportunities, professional & leadership development, and outreach between our scientific community and society. It is a program that all members of the applied superconductivity community may leverage to their professional advantage.

ELEVATE supports the Foundation’s core mission by providing opportunities for professional and leadership development through four fundamental pillars that are focused on involvement, networking, enrichment, and representation. The program aims at providing the mechanism through which people connect, build career pathways and accelerate technological growth. Overall, the program strives to “elevate” the participant’s conference experience by offering these opportunities for building robust skill sets which the science and engineering of superconductivity demands.

The Applied Superconductivity Conference (ASC) for over 50 years has created the premier international conference on applied superconductivity in the electronics, large scale, and materials fields for the engagement of learning and the exchange of science through the presentation of original papers, posters, seminars, forums and plenary lectures. Our conference will continue to partner with the IEEE Council on Superconductivity to allow submission of conference manuscripts to a special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity, a peer-reviewed and fully indexed and searchable publication available through IEEE Xplore.
