    Greeting to the participants from Mikhail Kovalchuk Chair of Scientific Committee Dear students, young scientists and lecturers! Welcome to RACIRI Summer School 2016! We are glad to see you here, in the famous historical and cultural area – Saint Petersburg region. The RACIRI Summer School is a result of successful scientific cooperation in the Baltic Sea region among Russian Federation, Germany and Sweden. The main goals of the School are education and training of the young generation of the synchrotron and neutron mega-facilities users. This year we bring to notice the convergence and complementarity of different sciences as the basis for interdisciplinary approach. That is the fruitful way to find a solution to modern challenges. The RACIRI 2016 program includes lectures and other events to improve the fundamental understanding in advanced materials design rather than focusing on plain experimental methods and techniques. The school is committed to development the scientific knowledge base of young researchers in advanced materials design with a strong connection to the excellent research infrastructure of the large facilities and to contribute to the necessary interdisciplinary literacy in relevant scientific fields. We wish you a very interesting and successful RACIRI Summer School 2016!
