In December 2021 MGML User Committee has been set up. The main goal of the UC is to be the formal ground for user feedback and for improving the role of the user as an important part of the research infrastructure. In addition, MGML User Committee represents the user community at MGML Scientific Advisory Committee meetings.

We present the annual report covering “Covid year” 2020. The facility significantly increased both national and international collaboration. As Scientific Highlights we are presenting complex studies on geometrically frustrated pyrochlore lattice and the discovery of the new phase of water when trapped within crystal lattice.

Our first annual report. This year’s Scientific Highlights features studies on two modern hot-topic group of compounds: Topological insulators and van der Waals materials. The annual report also presents our recent technical development as well as facts and figures about MGML, our user programme and collaboration with industrial sector.
