RACIRI Summer School for Young Indian Scientists is jointly organized by DESY in Germany, the NRC “Kurchatov Institute” in the Russian Federation and the Swedish Research Council in Sweden.

About the program:

• The summer schools offer a unique training program and stimulating learning environment for young researchers in materials science in close connection to research at large-scale x-ray and neutron sources.
• The school will mainly address PhD students, master (diploma) students in their final research year, and young postdoctoral researchers mainly from institutions of the three partner countries.
• It is one of the major goals of RACIRI Summer Schools to strengthen the scientific knowledge base of the next generation of researchers in advanced materials design and to contribute to the necessary interdisciplinary literacy in relevant scientific fields and disciplines.
• The program structure, lectures and topics are designed to improve the fundamental understanding rather than focusing on plain experimental methods and techniques.

Number of scholarships: Within the framework of the India@DESY collaboration, 3 RACIRI 2017 scholarships for outstanding young Indian scientists.
