The 37th MAX IV User Meeting
19–21 January 2026 in Lund, Sweden
The year 2026 marks two significant milestones for MAX IV, it will be ten years since the first beamline became operational, and the lab celebrates 40 years of scientific activity.
This year’s theme is the plans for MAX4U – an upgrade of the 3 GeV storage ring –, the resulting scientific advancements, and the development of our transformative scientific areas.
The User Meeting is hosted by MAX IV and FASM, The Association for Synchrotron Radiation Users at MAX IV.
