Description
TheHeinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum in Garching is a major facility for science with neutron scattering and for related experiments. As an organisation that has many user experiments as a core part of the success, the input from the community is important. The management of the MLZ have recently established a User Committee to provide better communication: the committee has the mission to proposes new strategic ideas and procedures to the MLZ Directorate with the ultimate goal to improve the MLZ user satisfaction. To fulfil this overall aim, the committee seeks to receive the broadest possible range of input from users. Any ideas that might affect the successful outcome of proposed research that concern handling of proposals, planning experiments, instruments, support laboratories, the control and analysis software or other related matters are welcome. Recognising that some specific issues might be best handled confidentially, contact can be made directly with any of the user committee members. All of the committee members welcome contact (see https://mlz-garching.de/user-office/user-committee.html) . The committee members and their particular areas of expertise will be presented briefly. The committee, elected by the users, is independent of the MLZ staff and management. It has regular meetings and brings matters raised to the attention of the MLZ Directorate.
