Since the early 1990s, the JINR Directorate has been paying great attention to student exchanges, organisation of scientific student schools and student courses. Students and postgraduates come to JINR from different countries, including Poland, for practice, acquiantance with JINR, writing theses, passing special JINR programmes. Contacts with Polish universities were particularly intensified in the frames of the educational programme. The Bogoliubov-Infeld programme was established to support Polish and JINR universities’ initiatives on development and implementation of educational projects. The programme is financed by a special grant of Plenipotentiary Representative of the Republic of Poland in JINR. Polish students get acquainted with the Institute, attend lectures of leading JINR scientists, carry out laboratory research, pass pre-graduation and graduation practical training, to which Assistant to JINR Chief Scientific Secretary, Polish staff member Wladislaw Chmielowski greatly contributed.

Annually 100 JINR staff members come to Poland to attend conferences and carry out collaborative work.

       

The scientists of Poland take part in the research work on the following themes of the Topical plan for JINR research and international cooperation for the year 2022:

• Theoretical Physics Cooperation on 5 themes
• Elementary Particle Physics and Relativistic Nuclear Physics Cooperation on 10 themes

The languages of international communication at JINR are Russian and English. However, one can hear the speech in many languages in Dubna, including the languages of JINR Member States when the countrymen, the representatives of the same expatriates’ community (the national groups of JINR), meet each other.

Over the years of existence of JINR the national groups have developed their traditions, forms of cooperation and collaboration with other national groups. Their leaders, appointed by the plenipotentiaries of the JINR Member States play an organizing role in the life of national groups.

Being in constant contact with plenipotentiaries, embassies of the Member States, the JINR Directorate and management services, they take part in the solution of the problems connected with the staying of their colleagues-countrymen and their families in Russia, with organization of their life and leisure. The Council of the leaders of the national groups has regular meetings. The representatives of the Directorate and the services of the Institute are invited to these meetings. The agenda includes discussion of urgent problems of the collaborators from the Member States. Due to this, the Directorate is able to make adequate decisions in time.

On the occasions of major public holidays of the Member States, the national groups arrange receptions. These festive events are held accompanied by art exhibitions, photo exhibitions, and enrich JINR staff members’ knowledge about the JINR Member States, their people and culture.
