Welcome to ECD-2026
On behalf of the ECD-2026 Organizing Committee and the Cryogenic Society of Europe (CSE), it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the European Cryogenic Days 2026 (ECD-2026), which will be held in Grenoble, France, from 13th to 15th October, 2026. The event is organised at the Maison MINATEC Congress Center, nearby the Grenoble train station and downtown, and offers the opportunity to visit one of the most innovative city and its exceptional surrounding mountain area.
The objective of the European Cryogenic Days is to bring together researchers, engineers and industry professionals from across Europe and beyond to engage fruitful exchanges, build new networking and partnership and facilitate the dissemination of the latest research and knowledge in cryogenic applications.
As experienced in the previous editions, the ECD-2026 aims to cover the large and diverse cryogenic applications such as Big Science, Fusion, Space, Superconductivity, Hydrogen and Quantum. The program will alternate keynote lectures, technical oral and poster sessions, exhibitions and social events to facilitate knowledge sharing and networking. In complement, technical courses and visits of leading R&D laboratories and industries will be proposed.
Looking forward to welcoming you in Grenoble, sincerely Yours
Francois Millet
ECD-2026 Chair
