The project's long - term goal is to help Danish industry make the most of nearby large - scale research
facilities such as the European Spallation Source, the MAX
IV synchrotron and the European X-Ray Free Electron Laser.
MAX
IV, which was inaugurated in June 2016, is the leading
synchrotron radiation
facility in the world, while the European research
facility ESS will be the world's most powerful neutron source when it opens for research in 2023.
