RÅC International Summer School 2023

20 Aug 2023, 06:30 → 27 Aug 2023, 22:00 Europe/Berlin

Bergström Hotel Lüneburg

"Cutting-edge Neutron and X-ray Research for a Sustainable Future"

The RÅC International Summer School is a summer school on advanced materials research at large-scale X-ray and neutron facilities. The school is building on the German-Swedish Röntgen-Ångström-Cluster (RAC) and has a geographical focus around the Baltic Sea region.

Every August, the summer school offers a one-week top-class multidisciplinary program with international lecturers and tutors for master and diploma students in the final research phase of their study programs, PhD and doctoral students, as well as young postdocs, whose research is connected with the use of X-rays and/or neutrons from these most advanced research infrastructure facilities. The school emphasizes interactions and discussions among the participants and lecturers by providing a stimulating and enjoyable environment. Additionally, Tutorials are being offered at the end of each lecture day by individual lecturers for interested students.
