The India-JINR Forum «Frontiers in Nuclear, Elementary Particle and Condensed Matter Physics» will be held on 16-20 June 2014 in the International Conference Hall in Dubna.
The Forum is held by JINR with the information support of the Embassy of India in the Russian Federation and the Russian Embassy in India. The forum aims to enhance the existing and establish new scientific contacts between leading research centres in India and JINR. The Forum is intended to confirm the large mutual interest and to find new promising forms of cooperation.
The forum will start with a plenary session during which the participants will be presented with an overview of JINR recent activities as well as talks from the invited Indian colleagues. The plenary session will be followed by the excursions to JINR’s laboratories with the most significant projects, where according to areas of interest several focus groups will be formed. Every group will spend at its’ laboratory 2 days, working on topics of their interest.
The topics of the forum will cover all the main fields of JINR’s activity: theoretical and experimental studies in elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, radiation biology, computing and information technologies, detector development and R&D. The Joint Institute is a large multidisciplinary international scientific centre where fundamental physics research is integrated with the applications of innovative science-intensive technologies and the development of education in the related fields of science. Detailed information about directions of research at JINR is available at the official JINR site (Topical plan for JINR research and international cooperation in 2014).
JINR expects the participation of senior experts and future project leaders from the Indian side. The forum will result in a concluding plenary session with expert remarks of the invited scientists from India and will lead to signing of forum’s summary (resume), representing its results and achievements.
Young specialists from India are offered the possibility to get insight of the JINR main facilities within the framework of student practices organized by the JINR University Center. The nearest practice is scheduled on September 2014.
