Dear colleagues and friends,

The Institute has welcomed two delegations recently, upholding its motto “Science brings nations together”. South African colleagues visited Dubna to discuss the issues of strengthening cooperation, while representatives of the Embassy of Japan in Russia got acquainted with JINR’s research programme as part of developing steps to extend the partnership.

A series of collaboration meetings aimed at reviewing the NICA Project’s progress has concluded at the Laboratory of High Energy Physics at JINR. This time, the scientists focused on the readiness of the Multi-Purpose Detector and plans for new fundamental studies.

In the latest issue of the JINR Newsletter you will find articles on the AYSS-2025 conference and school for physics teachers organized by the University Centre as well as recordings of popular science lectures by leading JINR researchers, and much more.
