Directly after the opening of the new combined building the first HFML-FELIX User Meeting took place. Local research groups, external users and other interested scientists exchanged experiences and the latest scientific news. The aim was to bring the high field and free electron laser communities together and inform both scientific research areas about the possibilities of the facility. During this lively and inspiring user meeting, new ideas were born, suggestions were made and connections between the different fields were established. The meeting was well received by the community and hopefully enables new ground-breaking experiments using the intense radiation of FELIX and the high fields of HFML.
