Dear colleagues and friends,

The Quantum Computing and Machine Learning workshop organized by the Laboratory of Information Technologies at JINR and the Egyptian Academy of Scientific Research and Technology took place. JINR⁠–Egypt cooperation was widely discussed, including the prospects of holding student internships, which highlighted the Institute’s commitment to use its economic and intellectual resources to enrich the scientific knowledge of the Member States.

The Institute is hosting the Current Problems in Radiobiology conference this week. Topping the agenda is advanced fundamental studies in the field and their practical application. This year’s conference is dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the Laboratory of Radiation Biology at JINR and the memory of Professor Evgeny Krasavin.

Over 200 scientists are discussing the progress and prospects of the Spin Physics Detector (SPD) at NICA at the 10th Collaboration Meeting. The Modern Problems of Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Technologies international conference took place in Uzbekistan with JINR participation. Read about this and much more in the latest JINR Newsletter.
