None of the flagship accelerators that have shaped modern particle physics could have succeeded without large\u2011scale superconducting systems. CERN continues to lead the efforts in this field. Its next accelerator, the High\u2011Luminosity LHC, relies on high-grade superconductors that were not available in industry before they were developed for high-energy physics. Tomorrow\u2019s colliders will require a new generation of high\u2011temperature superconductors (HTS) to be able to realise their research potential with improved energy efficiency and long\u2011term sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the physics field, next\u2011generation superconductors have the potential to reshape key technological sectors. Their ability to transmit electricity without resistance, generate intense magnetic fields and operate efficiently at high temperatures makes them suitable for applications in fields as diverse as healthcare, mobility, computing, novel fusion reactors, zero\u2011emission transport and quantum technologies. This wide range of applications shows that advances driven by fundamental physics can generate broad societal impact far beyond the laboratory.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/indico.cern.ch\/event\/1539578\/\">Catalysing Impact \u2013 Superconductivity for Global Challenges<\/a> event seeks to accelerate the transition from science to societal applications. By bringing together top-level researchers, industry leaders, policymakers and investors, the event provides a structured meeting point for technical expertise and strategic financing.
