Magnetometry Network: complementary European technical platforms and competence centers in the field of magnetism

Objective

The magnetometer Network (MagNet) aims to bring together complementary European technical plateforms and competence centers in the field of magnetism. At a first stage, the partners of this NoI will be located in France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Germany, Poland, and Netherland. However, technically, the service can be provided to any customer in Europe since samples can travel by mail (or made in one academic MagNet partner’s lab) and video-conference can be used for R&D discussions.

The solution (technology)

Globally, the project will be divided in four main phases:

• A short one consisting in developing shared procedures to allow the consortium replying to customers requests and/or customers needs identified (proactive approach), including related IP issues.
• A marketing phase which will consist in increasing the number of customers, selling services based on the equipment and associated expertise identified within the consortium
• Realization of first service and R&D actions for new private partners
• R&D proposals to answer EIT RM up-scaling calls or other European calls will be initiated in order to form long term R&D collaboration with new customers, and bring MagNet closer to sustainability.
