Superconductivity for Railway Application Workshop


11-12 December 2024, Paris, UIC HQ

Introduction

Superconductor technology, once confined to research laboratories, is now making its way into the industrial sector. Building on the success of these advancements, the rail industry is turning to this innovation to modernize its infrastructure. Europe is exploring new possibilities with cables and fault limiters, while Asia invests in futuristic rail vehicle projects.

SNCF Réseau, at the forefront of this technological revolution, is financing key projects that are shaping the future of rail transport. The project SuperRail was funded by the government as part of France 2030. Don’t miss our inaugural workshop, where you’ll discover three world-first railway projects where superconductivity plays a central role. Join us to witness groundbreaking innovations that will redefine rail transport!
