17-22th September: SUMAN group at EUCAS 2017. Great job, thank you!

An important representation of SUMAN group assisted to the 13^th European Conference on Applied Superconductivity, EUCAS 2017, held in the International Conference Centre of Geneva (CICG), hosted by CERN in collaboration with the University of Geneva and EPFL-SPC, and presented the work of the group.
