On 12 July 2021, XXI JINR-ISU Baikal Summer School on particle physics and astrophysics was launched. The School is prepared by the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems JINR and Irkutsk State University.

Igor Ivanov, co-chairman of the School’s organizing committee, “This year, we have to meet online. Despite all the difficulties, we have gathered more than 30 participants from different countries who are really interested in lectures on particle physics and astrophysical neutrinos. Participants will also report on their research.”

The School will have a modular structure this year. The main part of the School, including the core lecture programme, will have thematic sessions:

• Standard Model
• Quantum Chromodynamics
• The LHC results and future collider projects
• Astrophysical neutrinos
• IceCube results

The School’s programme will also include intensive discussions and problem-solving sessions in student groups. The working language of the event is English.

The School will last until 19 July.
