The LINXS Visiting Researcher Programme offers researchers the opportunity to spend time in a dynamic, interdisciplinary research environment at the heart of Science Village in Lund, Sweden, close to MAX IV and ESS. The programme brings together scientists from different fields and career stages to collaborate, exchange ideas, and develop new research directions.
Visits are typically connected to ongoing LINXS themes, neutron and X-ray science, or to activities related to MAX IV and ESS. Visitors engage with the LINXS community through workshops, meetings, and informal discussions, creating opportunities for both scientific collaboration and networking.
What the programme offers
Practical support before and during your stay, so you can focus on the science.
Funded visits last a minimum of two full calendar months and can extend up to four months. Extensions are possible if visitors have their own funding.
Travel and housing
One return trip between your country of residence and Lund, plus accommodation through LU Accommodation.
A place to work
Hot-desking offices at LINXS, The Loop, Rydbergs torg 4, in the middle of the research community.
A community
Workshops, meetings and informal discussions. Visits overlap, so you are rarely the only guest.
Who can visit
Open to researchers at all career stages, from early-career to senior scientists, whose work relates to one or more LINXS themes. Applications connected to a theme are prioritised.
