Our Mission
Superconductor Week has a three-fold mission: to advance the goals of our readers by a critical perspective on low- and high- Tc superconductors and cryogenics; to promote the industry by spreading information and insight to the broadest possible audience; and to provide a platform for the free exchange of ideas and news within the superconductivity community.
Superconductor Week is published by Peregrine Communications, a boutique information services company based in Portland, Oregon. Our vision is to provide products and services that make your work more effective. We specialize in information products tailored to industry and company needs, produced with expertise, analytical skills, and creativity that sets us apart. We are also pleased to offer consulting services, whether it is to gain a deeper understanding of your market, brand your produce, position against the competition, or plan strategically to move your organization to the next level.
