Description
Properties of High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) make them unique for both high field and higher temperature (> 4.2 K) applications. While their potential for future accelerators is undeniable, the route to high field magnets requires development and innovation via a targeted and focused research and development programme. Synergy with other on-going HTS projects is important and highly beneficial, but specificities driven by accelerator requirements must be addressed at the early stage of the development. After a brief overview of recent progress on HTS, the program and goal of the activities launched in laboratories and universities in the context of the HTS High Field Magnet Programme are presented and discussed.
