The MAX IV Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) gives advice to the MAX IV Management on the operation and future development of MAX IV Laboratory, and in particular on:

• the scientific programme for MAX IV Laboratory;
• the construction of beamlines at MAX IV Laboratory and their priorities;
• necessary investments in scientific infrastructure and staff at MAX IV Laboratory

In addition, the committee also contributes to reviews of MAX IV beamline designs and scientific programmes.
