Strategy workshops: Energy Technologies and Materials

Event Dates: 2021-09-08 to 2021-09-23   

In the context of the MAX IV process of developing a science-driven Strategy and Roadmap to guide our development during the period of 2023–2030, we are organizing DearasdStrategy workshops to solicit community input to finalize the full strategy in the spring of 2022.

We warmly invite you to the series of virtual half-day workshops combined under the “Energy Technologies and Materials” umbrella. The workshops will take place in September, and we invite everyone who is interested in contributing to corresponding section of the strategy document to participate in the workshops.

The meeting aims to collect contributions from various stakeholders, for example, representatives of Swedish universities, research institutions, international research communities, industry, as well as from MAX IV, regarding the “Energy Technologies and Materials” section of the strategy document. All contributions will be collected in an evolving attachment to the Strategy document, which will serve as basis for the next version of “Energy Technologies and Materials” section. In addition, we hope to select contributions to the forward-looking section with the same name on the 33rdMAX IV user meeting that will take place during 25-27 October 2021.

As part of this workshop, we strongly encourage members of the user community to share their input on this topic. This may be achieved by highlighting the grand challenges of importance during the next decade and scientific strategies or via the proposal of a new beamline or end station/sample delivery systems.

If you have any questions regarding the strategy process, Energy section of the strategy document or workshops, please contact andrey.shavorskiy@maxiv.lu.se
