Superconducting magnets are key components in particle accelerators and fusion energy experiments, where their primary role is to control the path and shape of beams of electrically charged particles. Progress is access control, fire and gas detection Big Science organisations are typically characterized by high safety requirements to protect personnel, users, equipment, and surroundings against radiation, fire, gas, A number of other European and national Big Science organisations will present their investments in the coming years. A list of the affiliated Big Science Representatives from all Big Science constantly made in the field of cryogenics, chemicals, heavy loads, organisations will be published later. organisations will present their superconductivity and particularly the and other hazardous items or Technology transfer policies, following technical areas are of situations. Many safety regulations opportunities and way of working interest to Big Science organisations and practices have some with the industry.
