The START (STudent Advanced Research Training) Programme invites students and postgraduates to join research conducted at JINR supervised by leading scientists and engineers. Applications for the 2025 Winter Session are accepted at start.jinr.ru until 31 October.

One of the features of the Programme is competitive selection of participants carried out by project supervisors based on the application forms submitted. The Programme is aimed at students having finished the 3rd year of the Bachelor’s course, Master’s students, and PhD students of the 1st year of study. Selected participants will be able to come to JINR for 6-8 weeks from February until June 2025.

START allows young people to not only get acquainted with the scientific research conducted at JINR and try their hand at solving relevant scientific and engineering tasks in an international team, but also to choose the topic of their future thesis and find a potential scientific supervisor. Successful participation in the Programme can become the starting point on their way to making a scientific career at JINR.

JINR researchers are invited to participate in START as student supervisors. To become a supervisor, please register at start.jinr.ru and post a description of your project in the corresponding section of your profile.

If you have any questions, please contact the START Team by +7 (496) 216-49-42 or write to students@jinr.ru.
