How will coaching students lead to real-world sustainability solutions?
Forty young scientists from all over Europe are about to start their journey of learning how to use MAX IV Laboratory for their research. Their coaches are researchers from nine Swedish Universities in fields connected to our sustainable future. In this panel discussion, you will meet some of the coaches in a conversation about what it takes to inspire the younger generation to use the tools of MAX IV and how it is essential to solving the grand societal challenges.
The 1-hour panel discussion session will be followed by a short visit of MAX IV organised for participants attending the event on site (limited to 30 participants) and online through zoom (link provided upon registration).
Background:
MAX IV is coordinating the MSCA COFUND project and will welcome young scientists via the MSCA COFUND project PRISMAS (PhD Research and Innovation in Synchrotron Methods and Applications in Sweden), a new doctoral programme training the next generation of leading synchrotron experts (GA 101081419). The call for applications is open until 2 May. Read more here – maxiv.lu.se
The program will train 40 curious, problem-solving PhD students in advanced synchrotron methodologies and techniques and their application in tackling current and future societal challenges. It is committed to educating fellows with outstanding capabilities who will carry forward new insights and experiences to society and their research fields.
Speakers to the panel discussion:
Marjolein Thunnissen, PRISMAS Programme Director & MAX IV Scientific Director - Life Sciences
Kajsa Sigfridsson Claus, MAX IV Balder beamline scientist
Assoc. Prof. Rainer Timm, Synchrotron Radiation Research , LU
Prof. Joachim Schnadt, Synchrotron Radiation Research, LU
Assoc. Prof. Martin Bech, Medical Radiation Physics, LU
AGENDA
13.30 - 14.30 Panel Discussion
14.30 - 15.00 Facility Tour (for participants on-site)
(To reach the facility by public transport, the easiest way is to take the tram - on Clemenstorget, Lund C, or on intermediate stops - and ride until the "MAX IV" stop; alternative solutions can be found through the Skånetrafiken app)
