MetaLSF: METAllic: Materials Exploration at Large-Scale Facilities – Education & Community

MetaLSF: A project for continuing professional development so researchers gain the skills to conduct experiments using large scale X-ray and neutron facilities

Large-scale research facilities (LSFs) make it possible to perform advanced scientific experiments that are not possible in laboratories. However, planning and conducting experiments at large scale facilities, as well as analysing the experimental data, is complex.

The MetaLSF programme is therefore designed for researchers to gain the necessary competences and hands-on skills in the use of large scale facilities. 

The MetaLSF programme comprises courses at introductory and advanced levels. Courses combine theory and hands-on exercises – in the lab and at large scale facilities. Many courses also have the possibility for researchers to “bring your own problems”, with the learner working together with LSF experts on designing and testing a research plan to solve that problem.

KTH is the project coordinator and we are pleased to work together in this project with colleagues from Grenoble INP (France), Novitom (France), The University of Oulu (Finland), Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE, Sweden) and SSAB (Sweden).

Funding agency

EIT RawMaterials, which is a body of the European Union.

Beginning and end dates

2020-01-01 till 2023-12-31
