Office for coordination of inputs to ESS and MAX IV

The office shall work towards:
  • Increased knowledge nationally about the facilities.
  • Broadening the Swedish use of the facilities.
  • Increased engagement among new interest and user groups within different sectors.
  • Making initiatives visible.
  • Coordinating ongoing and planned activities.

The office is being established – this page will be updated gradually.
