MAX IV is dedicated to continue building and strengthening the network surrounding MAX IV and its user community regarding excellence in synchrotron science methods and research. To establish and achieve where MAX IV should be by 2030, the strategic research directions and beamline developments must be envisioned, hand in hand, with tailored education and outreach activities. This will only thrive through collaborative initiatives that ensure well-connected stepping-stone environments at universities and institutes while increasing collaboration with industry and other stakeholders.
MAX IV is a partner in different networks and projects. On the collaborations page you can see the full list of current ongoing collaborations. In this page we highlight, in alphabetical order, partnership in networks and projects which have education and outreach efforts relevant to MAX IV openly stated on their strategy.
DanScatt provides funding for travels to experiments and provides advice for new users. It supports the Danish memberships in ESS, E-XFEL, ESRF and ILL, as well as strategic collaborations with PSI and MAX IV.
One of the DanScatt primary recommendations is the
strategic use of MAX IV and PSI as facilities that play a crucial role in relation to volume, training of new users, regional initiatives, and support of the strategic and industry-related research.
One of the aims of InfraLife is to increase the knowledge about the three research infrastructures ESS, MAX IV and SciLifeLab through tailored information and educational activities targeted at researchers within academia, health care and industry. In addition to new cross-sectorial educational and training activities, the goal is to open up existing courses to broader audiences and participation for external participants will be facilitated.
