External Users
HFML-FELIX's unique instrumentation enables researchers to study the fundamental properties of (new) materials, unravel chemical processes, and identify molecules in complex mixtures, making it a highly-demanded user facility yearly welcoming more than several hundred researchers from all over the world.
External users from both industrial and academic backgrounds are welcome to use the advanced equipment and setups we have to offer, albeit under certain conditions. Academic users can apply twice a year by submitting a research proposal evaluated most importantly on scientific merit by and external Programme Advisory Committee. If you are granted access, you can use the installation and receive support from our staff in preparation of and during the experimental campaign.
