From 22 to 24 April, JINR delegates are presenting the Institute’s activities and discussing cooperation prospects with Uzbekistan colleagues. A key event was JINR signing a cooperation agreement with the Republic’s Academy of Sciences.

The international training course finished with a round table. JEMS participants shared feedback on the programme and took part in discussing cooperation, particularly through developing the JINR Information Centres.

JINR representatives, together with the branch’s professors, employees, students, and graduates, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Department of Fundamental Nuclear Interactions. They discussed the department’s achievements, close partnership with the Institute, and further plans.

The Laboratory of Theoretical Physics will host the event on 7–10 July in person. The workshop will include plenary and oral presentations along with a poster session of young researchers. Registration is available until 10 May via the link.

Three competitions are now available. Scientific teams can receive grants for research under the supervision of foreign scientists, get funding for international research, or have deadlines for projects supported by the Foundation’s grants in 2022 extended.

The event will take place online on 27 April, at 1:00 PM, Moscow time. The speakers will provide detailed information on a new Master’s course, “Methods and technologies of data processing in heterogeneous computing environments”.

On 25 April, at 5:00 PM, the JINR Scientists’ Club will host an event dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War. The programme will include a talk about Mikhail Meshcheryakov’s experience at the front line and a play by Kvadrat Theatre.

On 4 May, the Association of Young Scientists and Specialists of JINR will organize an excursion to the park dedicated to the Great Patriotic War (1941 – 1945). Please note the registration ends today, on 23 April, at 11:59 PM, Moscow time.

Yuri Oganessian appeared in a new episode of the Very Personal programme hosted by Victor Loshak. Victor and Yuri talked about science, the spiritual and the material, new discoveries, and the island of stability.

At the 26th Khariton Scientific Readings, representatives of the Laboratory of Information Technologies discussed MLIT computing capabilities and machine learning methods in high energy physics and applied tasks.

Researchers from the Laboratory of Radiation Biology participated in the 78th Biosystems: Organization, Behavior, Management conference, which took place from 14 to 18 April at Lobachevsky State University, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.

Every week, the JINR Telegram channel shares archival photos of the Institute. We invite you to look at the renowned American physicist Isidor Rabi touring Synchrophasotron’s magnetic system at LHE at JINR photographed 66 years ago, in April 1959.
