Abstract: After the RÅC Summer School in 2022 had taken place in Varberg, Sweden, the research centre DESY organised this year’s edition of the Röntgen-Ångström International Summer School – or RÅC-2023 in short –, as a six-day-event from 20 to 27 August 2023, in Lüneburg, Germany (https://www.rac-school.org/rac2023). This year’s focal theme of the school was “Cutting-edge Neutron and X-ray Research for a Sustainable Future”. The school in Lüneburg brought together 52 young scientists in materials research from Sweden, Germany and various other European countries, such as Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, France, Greece, as well as Ukraine and Israel. They all have very much enjoyed participating in a program ranging from high-level scientific lectures by international experts to social activities and an excursion.The RÅC International Summer School is a German-Swedish collaboration, under the umbrella of the bilateral Röntgen-Ångström Cluster. The cluster as well as the school are co-funded by the Swedish Research Council, Vetenskapsrådet, and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). During the last years, 2020–2022, the school has undergone several changes and adaptations of its format. After the Russian military attack on Ukraine in February 2022, and in consequence of applying EU-wide sanctions against Russia, the German and Swedish partners of the RÅC School Steering Committee have decided to halt the former trilateral German-Swedish-Russian summer school cooperation, and to adapt the school’s format to a bilateral format, and to open it further to young scientists affiliated to institutions not only from Sweden, Germany, but also from many other countries in the EU or even beyond.
