This year, new Dissertation Councils were opened at JINR after the Institute was granted the right to independently award academic degrees.

The first defence within a new format took place on 2 December at a meeting of the Dissertation Council for Condensed Matter Physics JINR.04.01.2019.P (under FLNP) headed by JINR Vice-Director Academician B. Yu. Sharkov. The Council considers dissertations presented by candidates for PhD and Doctor of Science degrees in the specialities: 01.04.01 – Instrumentation and Methods of Experimental Physics and 01.04.07 – Condensed Matter Physics. The Council is comprised of leading scientists in the fields of condensed matter physics and neutron research methods from FLNP, FLNR and BLTP. At the first meeting of the Dissertation Council, Tsolmon Tsogtsaikhan, a researcher from Mongolia (FLNP Nuclear Safety Group) presented and successfully defended his thesis “Research of random disturbances in the reactivity of the IBR-2M reactor” for the degree of Candidate of Physics and Mathematics.
