Part of the Röntgen-Ångström Cluster
RÅC International Summer School is part of the Swedish-German scientific cooperation in structural biology and materials sciences, Röntgen-Ångström Cluster (RÅC). The purpose of the cooperation is to strengthen research that uses neutron and synchrotron light, and to stimulate the use and/or accumulation of competence for major research infrastructures that already exist or are planned within the field. The Swedish Research Council is the administrating agency for RÅC.
RÅC International Summer Shool is organised by Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) and the Swedish Research Council. In Germany, the Summer School 2023 is supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
