Where: at LINXS (LINXS, The Loop, Rydbergs torg 4, Lund), workshop room on the 3 floor.
About
Curious about new and upcoming flow, deformation, and in-situ experimental capabilities at ESS and MAX IV?
This workshop is the right place to explore them.
The programme is organised around three thematic areas:
Food
Materials
Bio / Med-Tech
A guided visit to ESS is planned at the conclusion of the workshop.
