The Swedish Research Council has decided to award a 10-year operating grant to MAX IV. The grant covers the years 2027-2036 and amounts to approximately SEK 6.5 billion. This represents a substantial increase in the Swedish Research Council's contribution and will provide MAX IV with the necessary level of operational funding, taking into account the expected co-financing.
“I am very pleased and grateful for the announcement that the Swedish Research Council has awarded a 10-year grant for our operations. This decision marks a milestone in a process that has spanned many years, during which we have worked to achieve greater long-term stability and predictability for major research infrastructures such as MAX IV. This is a fundamental prerequisite for operating world-leading research infrastructures,” says Olof ‘Charlie’ Karis, Director of MAX IV.
