The proposed MAX IV facility at MAX-lab, Lund University is presented. The project consists of a 3 GeV linac injector, two storage rings at 1.5 and 3 GeV respectively and a facility for short pulses and Free Electron Laser. The storage rings will cover a broad spectral range and are designed to reach the diffraction limit at most wavelengths. A new innovative magnet concept and lattice form the back bone of the design. Short photon pulses will be generated with compressed pulses from the linac system and coherent pulses by a Free Electron Laser operating in the HGHG mode. The project has received the highest marks in the scientific evaluations both concerning machine design and scientific program.
