Students as Researchers

 

MAX IV Laboratory continue with our annual practice aimed at motivating, empowering and connecting young researchers who will become our future scientists. Two awards have been established to recognize the outstanding work of young researchers, students and PhDs, whose research has been, fully or partially, performed at MAX IV Laboratory

DUO database We take the opportunity to acknowledge all PhD thesis and Master thesis that used the MAX IV facility on their research.
For statistics purposes MAX IV values that all PhD and Masters works that are a result of a beamtime at MAX IV, be uploaded in the MAX IV DUO system. This is something that can be done by the authors themselves in DUO using the link ‘Thesis report’ on the user home page.

We are most appreciative to all those who upload their work!

MAX IV User Meeting Awards

The MAX IV Student Poster award was established in 2010. The award included a monetary prize, the equivalent of 5000 SEK and the opportunity to present the awarded work during the user meeting.  The award was sponsored  by SPECS. In 2020 this award became the MAX IV Students Science award 

The MAX IV PhD Thesis award was first established in 2013. The awardee is invited to give an oral presentation at the plenary session. The award consisted of a unique statuette created at MAX IV (the MAX-Lab Oscar). Since 2019 a monetary price, the equivalent of 5000 SEK, has became part of the award. In 2019, the special sponsorship from Dectris resulted in 8000 SEK for the awardee.
