The Berkeley-Stanford Summer Schools provide lecture programs on the synchrotron radiation process, requisite technologies, and a broad range of scientific applications in the Physical and Life Sciences. The goal of the Summer Schools is to disseminate information about scientific opportunities in synchrotron radiation applications and train students on experimental techniques. The Schools are limited to approximately 40 students per course based on a reviewed application process. An interdisciplinary and intellectually stimulating environment provides an excellent training ground for new and experienced researchers in both, the Physical and Life Sciences through joint lectures, evening discussions and visits to the synchrotron light sources SSRL and ALS.

The Summer Schools are jointly organized by the University of California at Berkeley, Stanford University, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory with additional funding support from DOE, NIH, and corporate sponsors. Lectures will be presented by renowned scientists from these four organizations and the international scientific community.
