LINXS COMMUNITY
JOIN LINXS!
All researchers whose work can develop through the use of X-ray and neutron methods can benefit from being part of the LINXS community and participating in LINXS activities. LINXS is a place to explore new ideas and research questions, to discuss methods and approaches, as well as meet and collaborate with scientists from around the world and from different disciplines and organisations.
People in the
LINXS network
How do I join the LINXS community? There are many ways, on an increasing scale of engagement:
Participate LINXS activities and participate in the scientific discussions.
Contact and engage with existing themes and working groups. These are mostly in charge of and have budget to invite guest researchers. Some also come by reference and collaboration with our partners.
Researchers doing experiments at MAX IV or ESS are always welcome to work at LINXS on an ad hoc basis, as long as there is space available. To ensure space, it is always best to contact us and book ahead.
Initiate new themes, working groups and research activities connected LINXS focus areas through collaborations and by participating in regular theme calls. To lead and/or participate (and have your time paid) in a theme requires resources from your home organisation, so please make sure you have established a collaboration and that your home organisation is willing to commit resources before you apply for running a theme.
As a member of a LINXS working group or theme, you get an opportunity to organise research activities connected to your area of interest, and to create new contacts and networks. Most people active in LINXS activities do so with their own time and resources, because they are invested in the topics. LINXS with partners offer administrative support to organise and run activities, disseminate information, and create a setting to highlight and discuss research developing and exploiting x-ray and neutron methods. The overall aim is to further research collaboration within national and international research networks, and to attract critical mass and resources from national and international funding agencies to a specific topic.
LINXS welcomes researchers from all disciplines and organisations worldwide to join the LINXS community.

PARTNERS
Partner - Lund University was founded in 1666 and is ranked among the world’s top 100 universities. The University has 40 000 students and 8 160 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition. The university is host to the MAX IV national Swedish synchrotron facility and boasts a broad range of research and additional open facilities relevant to synchrotron and neutron sciences.
Core Partner - The MAX IV Laboratory is a Swedish national laboratory providing scientists with the most brilliant X-rays for research. With 35 years of experience operating the MAX I-III facilities it is now operating MAX IV, which was inaugurated 21 June 2016.
Core Partner - The European Spallation Source is under construction on the outskirts of Lund, a city in southern Sweden. The facility's unique capabilities will both greatly exceed and complement those of today's leading neutron sources, enabling new opportunities for researchers across the spectrum of scientific discovery, including materials and life sciences, energy, environmental technology, cultural heritage and fundamental physics.
Theme partner – The Chemistry of Life Theme is led by the Leicester Institute for Structural and Chemical Biology, University of Leicester, UK, and is the first LINXS Theme to be led by a University outside Sweden!
Theme partner – The University Museum of Bergen is co-leading the LINXS Heritage Science Theme together with Lund University.
The University Museum of Bergen aims to do high quality research related to collections within Cultural and Natural History, some of the largest collections in Norway.
