It is a fine specimen of architecture of the 19th century built to the design of the famous German born Russian architect Andrey Stakenshneider for Emperor Nikolay I't son, Grand Duke Nikolay. Due to this fact, the current name of the former Grand Duke's residence is the Nikolayevsky Palace. The Palace-is unique not only by its architectural design. It remarkably combines the memories of more than century's history of the city existence. The walls of the Palace remember daily life events of the Grand Duke's family as well as vigorous activities of the new political class representatives roused by the communists to rule the New State. 22-24 January 2014 PARTICIPANT MANUAL City tour (by previous registration) The tour stars on 24th January at 2.30 pm from the Congress Center PetroCongress. - The Russian Museum The Russian Museum is the first state museum of Russian fine arts in the country.

    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!
