The languages of international communication at JINR are Russian and English. However, one can hear the speech in many languages in Dubna, including the languages of JINR member-states when the compatriots, the representatives of the same national groups meet each other.

Over the years of existence of JINR the national groups have developed their traditions, forms of cooperation and collaboration with other national groups. Their leaders, appointed by the plenipotentiaries of the JINR member-states play an organizing role in the life of national groups.

  Norbert Kučerka
  Head of the national group of the Slovak Republic, FLNP Deputy Scientific Director

• 

  Rastislav Dvornický
  Deputy Head of the national group of the Slovak Republic, a DLNP senior researcher

Being in constant contact with plenipotentiaries, embassies of member-states, JINR Directorate and management services, they take part in solving the problems connected with the residency of their colleagues-compatriots and their families in Russia, with the organization of their life and leisure. The Council of the leaders of the national groups meets periodically. The representatives of the Directorate and the services of the Institute are invited to these meetings confronted with the urgent problems of the collaborators from the member-states. Due to this, the Directorate can make timely and adequate decisions.

On the occasions of major public holidays of the member-states, the national groups arrange receptions. These festive events are often accompanied by art exhibitions, photo exhibitions, and enrich JINR staff members’ knowledge about the member-states, their people and culture.
