The publication provides information on the latest scientific results obtained at the JINR laboratories, updates on large-scale experiments, construction of new facilities, discoveries, inventions, etc. JINR’s social life is presented extensively.

Until 26 September, the JINR Science and Technology Library is hosting the 120 Years of the Special Theory of Relativity exhibition. Visitors can find books about the history of the theory, Albert Einstein’s works, and publications by JINR scientists on the application of special relativity in various fields of physics.

On 11 September, at 6:00 PM, the JINR Scientists’ Club invites everyone interested to a lecture entitled “What is Art & Technology?”. MISIS University students will present their art projects and discuss their experience working at the intersection of science, art, and technology.

On 13–14 September, from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, the JINR Mir Cultural Centre will host the Stream exhibition, showcasing art projects by master’s students from the MISIS University. The opening ceremony will take place on 12 September, at 6:00 PM.

JINR will host the conference for young scientists and specialists on 27–31 October. Registration and abstract submission deadline is 12 September, at 11:59 PM. If you have already registered, please ensure that you have attached the abstract of your talk.

An FLNP JINR leading researcher Kholmirzo Kholmurodov visited the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan. The parties discussed the expansion of scientific and technical cooperation, particularly the prospects of conducting advanced joint studies.

Academic year has started at Dubna’s branch of Moscow State University. The JINR University Centre organized a series of lectures and tours for students to get acquainted with the Institute: they have already got to see the NICA Collider, the IBR-2 Reactor, the Govorun Supercomputer, and much more.

Volga Recreation Centre recently hosted the Nuclear Festival, which brought together about 1000 guests from research institutes and universities in Russia. Eight teams competed in art, science, and sports for the cup. The Joint Institute employees took first place based on the total amount of points.

MLIT continues the jubilee series of archival photos, interviews, and stories about people and milestones that shaped the laboratory through the decades. This week, you are welcome to read about the youth of Mikhail Meshcheryakov. Stay tuned via the #ЛИТ60 hashtag in the MLIT Telegram channel.

Almost 60 people sent in answers to the puzzle posted in the JINR Telegram channel last week. The three fastest participants will receive a copy of the “Particle physics for curious ones” book with an autograph of BLTP JINR Director Dmitry Kazakov.

The JINR University Centre announced enrolment for the Russian Speaking Club and English language course. In addition, an online Chinese language course will soon be introduced. Please confirm your participation no later than 12 September.
