The aim of the feasibility study is to anchor LINXS in the regional operator system and mobilise these actors to get closer to the creation of a permanent research institute. The feasibility study will map the needs, promote an increased throughflow of researchers and aim to become a starting point for academic initiatives in the region. Key questions for the study are how LINXS should best collaborate with non-academic actors, how the throughflow of excellence that LINXS brings to the region can be utilised to support the business community and how an implementation project should be set up to meet the needs identified. The feasibility study should include both Skåne and Blekinge. Contact with industry will be made via clusters, incubator organisations and higher education institutions, with which the feasibility study will seek cooperation. Specifically, the feasibility study will investigate collaboration with service companies for FOU, companies engaged in FOU that would benefit from research infrastructures such as ESS and MAX IV and larger companies interested in developing their own analysis capabilities. The main activities are mapping of needs, strategy work for collaboration and planning of implementation projects and marketing. In the long term, the feasibility study will lead to a research institute that attracts researchers and users to the environment around MAX IV and ESS. LINXS stands for the Lund Institute of Advanced Neutron and X-ray Science.
