Description
The MicroMAX Collaborative Research Grants aim to strengthen the user community at the MicroMAX beamline at the MAX IV Synchrotron in Lund, Sweden, by supporting high-quality collaborative research projects in macromolecular crystallography. The program emphasizes serial-synchrotron and time-resolved methods, fostering Danish and international collaboration, and advancing expertise in synchrotron crystallography anchored in Danish non-profit research organizations. Grants are intended to facilitate research that leverages the unique capabilities of MicroMAX, promote the development of new instrumentation or methods, and provide advanced training opportunities for early career researchers in life science. Projects should align with the Novo Nordisk Foundation’s strategic areas, including biomedicine, health sciences, sustainability, biotechnology, natural/technical sciences, and data science.
