Advisory bodies play a central role in shaping the scientific direction, operational excellence, and long-term development of the MAX IV Laboratory. As a leading synchrotron radiation facility and Swedish national laboratory, MAX IV relies on the expertise and independent perspective of internationally recognised specialists to guide its management on matters ranging from accelerator performance to scientific strategy and beamtime allocation.

Each advisory body brings together leading experts from facilities, universities, and research organisations around the world, ensuring that MAX IV benefits from broad knowledge and best practice across the global synchrotron science community.

Together, these committees help MAX IV maintain the high standards expected of a national research infrastructure — supporting users, funders, and partners in Sweden and internationally.
