As JINR Director Grigory Trubnikov noted in his speech, the JINR Member States continue to maintain scientific contacts with the Joint Institute and broaden the agenda of collaborative work on new major research projects. Egypt has recently become a Member State. Our new strategic partners – Mexico, China, Brazil, India, Argentina, and Chile – have the most serious interest in joining JINR. “It is important that the guild solidarity of scientists has been preserved. There is trust in human relations, there is mutual confidence with European scientists in the need to be ready to resume cooperation. This solidarity allows us to develop research at the global level”, Grigory Trubnikov noted. “The projects that are currently being implemented with the participation of Russian scientists in Dubna, at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, as well as in China and Japan are impossible for any country to build alone. These are large-scale experiments, which are the key bridges of building international ecosystems and scientific blocks around the peaceful exploration of the world around us”. Grigory Trubnikov noted that trust is a crucial element, thanks to which such complex systems can exist and function effectively.
