We are a group of committed pioneers who want to solve a huge challenge

Our team consists of group leaders and researchers working in Europe and the United States. The team has been chosen to provide complementary expertise at the top level.

SuperC is coordinated by Aalto University in Finland. We work at our own universities in sub-teams of 2-5 people. As the key in our way of working is collaboration as well as sharing ideas and knowledge with the whole team, we regularly meet and have brainstorming sessions in person and virtually.

A collaborative approach with a large global consortium is highly unusual in the research of superconductivity, but we believe it is the only way our ambitious goal, realizing room temperature superconductivity within ten years, can be realistically approached.
