On 12 May, the Slovak Republic delegates headed by public activist Pavol Slota got introduced to the scientific infrastructure and research projects of JINR. In addition, the Republic’s representatives held a meeting with the Institute’s leadership.

The annual meeting of the Institute’s Trade Union was held at the International Conference Centre. The participants summarised the results of the 2025 Collective Agreement implementation, adopted a new one for 2026–2029, and presented awards to employees.

From 18 to 22 May, a collaboration meeting of the Spin Physics Detector at the NICA Collider is taking place at Tomsk State University. More than 170 scientists and engineers from Russia, Armenia, China, Belarus, South Africa, and Cuba are discussing the progress in the facility’s construction and IT infrastructure development.

Until 5 June, the JINR Science and Technology Library is hosting a new book exhibition. Readers can find monographs, textbooks, and biographies of eminent researchers.

The Joint Institute for Nuclear Research invites artists, designers, architects, and students of relevant fields from any country of the world to design a decorative panel on the rear façade of the Mir Cultural Centre. The application deadline is on 5 July.

On 24 May, at 13:00, the JINR VIBE international festival will take place at Molodezhnaya Polyana in Dubna. The programme includes science shows, lectures, research facility models, and a concert. The admission is free.

From 27 to 31 July, the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics at JINR will host the international Supersymmetry and Quantum Symmetries workshop. Discussion topics will include modern theoretical high-energy and mathematical physics. Registration is available until 30 June via the link.

The JINR Telegram channel shared an archival photo of the Institute. Take a look at Jörg Hüfner giving a talk at a theoretical physics workshop as part of the Heisenberg-Landau programme, taken on 20 May 1993.

The Scientific Leader of the Laboratory of Information Technologies at JINR took part in Scientists’ Take on Radio Crimea. The topic was the development of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence.

We invite you to watch a recording of “Unlocking the mysteries of dark matter and neutrinos deep underground”¹ by Jianglai Liu and “Vacuum system of the SOChI Microchip Irradiation Channel and Station”² by Vladislav Tyulkin.

The JINR Telegram Channel shared another word from the world of science. This week’s post is dedicated to reactivity modulation used at the IBR-2 Reactor at the Laboratory of Neutron Physics at JINR.

A new issue of the Weekly JINR Newspaper, #19-20, has been published. Please note that you can read an English version on the JINR Newspaper’s website.
