Length of the visit: 2 hours

Education level: mixed group: biomedicine and medicine, BSc and MSc
Visitor background: Biomedicine/medicine, according to my tour survey most students only roughly know what a synchrotron is and not how it works, so the tour should probably start with the basics.
Motivation,interest, expectations from the visitors: These are the top 5 most requested topics in our tour survey:
- How the beams and beamlines even work?
- How they are used for biomedical purposes?
- Future/advancements in synchrotron facilities.
- How other sciences (chemistry, physics...) use the facility?
- How is such a facility powered/mantained?

Other Comments:

• There is some interest in my programme for a visit of the MAX IV facility. Biomedicine programme director, who is supportive of the visit: Magnus Hillman, magnus.hillman@med.lu.se
• Plan in advance?, if the programme wanted to organize another visit next study year, but for all years of Biomedicine (so more groups), which they could design the schedule around.
• Coordinating visit with BUR (our student council) to consolidate planning for interested students

From us to them:
By the way, we are having several groups coming from or connected to med.lu.
I don’t know if at med.lu anyone has a general view of all these “similar in this respect” events.
 

For your information, next week we have the annual MAX IV User meeting.
Now the registration is close, but it might be interesting that you are aware of it in the future.
