ISC Maglev Conferences

The International Steering Committee (ISC) for Maglev 20xx Conferences

The primary task of the International Steering Committee (ISC) is to define the topics and upcoming meeting places for the International MAGLEV conferences. Important decision-making criteria are current developments in science and industry as well as the goal of the appropriate promotion of relevant national maglev developments.

The committee is made up of 20 members, all of whom are experts in the Maglev field. A new member is accepted by vote. Proposals for election can only be made by members of the ISC. In the case of several applicants, the decision to the conference venue is carried out by secret ballot.
