The workshop was part of the process of preparing a proposal to the
Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation for funding of the first phase of beamlines for the MAX IV project.

The workshop gathered about 200 users of synchrotron radiation mainly from Sweden, the Nordic/Baltic countries and Poland.

First an introduction was given by Prof. Ulf Karlsson who explained
the application process from the Swedish Research Council's (VR) point of view. After presentations of the MAX IV project by Prof. Nils Mårtensson and
Prof. Mikael Eriksson two talks were given on subjects of great importance
for the future MAX IV facility.

• Dr. Christian Riekel, MAX-lab, gave a presentation on nanobeams, where the unique properties of the ultra-brilliant radiation from MAX IV was discussed in context with international research.
• Dr. Anders Madsen, ESRF, gave a presentation of X-ray coherence where the ultra-low emittance of the MAX IV facility will open unique possibilities.

After this the meeting was divided into three parallel sessions where beamline proposals for IR, VUV and Soft X-rays, Hard X-rays and Life Sciences were presented and discussed. In all these fields there has been a strong activity within the user community to define state of the art beamlines. The discussions were very fruitful and reflected the strong user community around the MAX laboratory. Several cases of synergy effects between different proposals were found and it was possible to find opportunities where the different user groups can make a consorted effort to make use of the most ultra-brilliant facility in the world.
