International Conference "Condensed Matter Research At the IBR-2" successfully finished it’s work last week on 17 October 17 2015. It gathered more then 120 specialists from Azerbaidjan, Belorussia, Bulgaria, Germany, Latvia, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Ukraine, Vietnam, and was dedicated to 100th anniversary of the birth of outstanding physicist Fyodor L. Shapiro, who provided fundamental contribution to establishment and development of the experimental facilities and basic research areas at the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research.

The aim of the regular Conferences on Condensed Matter Research at IBR-2 reactor, playing the role of the User Meetings, is to bring together the users of the neutron facility for discussion of recent experimental results, prospects of future research and development of IBR-2 instruments. The previous Conference was held in June 2014 and attracted 105 participants from Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Moldova, Mongolia, Romania, Russia, Slovak Republic, Ukraine.

Since 2012, the IBR high flux pulsed reactor renewed regular operation at nominal power for scientific research and realization of the User Programme. Neutron scattering research at IBR-2 reactor covers different fields of condensed matter physics, materials science, chemistry, biophysical, geophysical and engineering sciences. At present, 200 experiments per year are performed by scientists from more than 20
countries at IBR-2 instruments in the framework of the User Programme.
