Description
Materials Business Center is conducting a pre-study on the supporting laboratory resources to be built in connection to ESS and MAX IV in Lund to facilitate for external usage of the research facilities by users with limited experience in conducting these types of experiments.
They carry out this study on behalf of Lund university/MAXIV, ESS, Region Skåne and Science Village Scandinavia and are reaching out to academia and industry, both in Sweden and internationally, to get an understanding of their needs in terms of designing experiments, preparing the samples and interpreting the results. During this session, the interim conclusions will be presented and the presenters will seek input from the audience.
In particular, the pre-study addresses the following questions:
1. Is there need within industry and academia to have supplementary scientific infrastructure around ESS and MAX IV, for the design and preparation of experiments and subsequent result analysis?
2. If there is such a need, what kind of lab equipment should be included?
3. What laboratory resources are needed? Can they be collected in a small number of groups of laboratories (as in Grenoble with regard to structural Biochemistry).
4. How can a general structure of laboratories be put together in order to attract relevant companies and academic institutions to be part of an establishment process?
5. What should the process of detailing the content and create a business/financial plan look like?
6. What parties are the most relevant and engaged in moving such a process forward, as a core group of the implementation phase?
7. What can be learnt from the establishment processes in other European examples such as from ISIS and Diamond in Oxford, around Helmholtz Zentrum in Berlin and ILL and ESRF in Grenoble?
