Swedish Students Tour XMaS
With thanks to Uppsala University in Sweden and in collaboration with XMaS, 12 Swedish students won a competition to visit the ESRF and ILL on 8th-9th September. They took part in the Synchrotron@Schools Program organised by ESRF, visited the XMaS Beamline (see picture below) and toured the ILL. XMaS continues to be involved in the project to encourage young women to consider science careers. Follow our work @XMaSSchoolTrip
