General information on collaboration
The Republic of Belarus, as a part of the USSR, joined JINR based on the Agreement signed on 26 March 1956. As a sovereign republic, Belarus has been a Member State of JINR since 1992.
In March 1992, the acceptance report was ratified and JINR Plenipotentiary from the Republic of Belarus was appointed supported by the executive order of the government of Belarus. However, close ties with national scientific centres of Belarus and Belarusian scientists have existed throughout the JINR history.
Nowadays, 21 scientific centers and the University of the Republic of Belarus cooperate with JINR in the fields of theoretical physics, particle physics, nuclear physics and condensed matter physics in the framework of the 28 ongoing research projects at JINR. 21 Belarusian experts and members of their families work in Dubna on a contractual basis. Most scientists (150) working on joint projects conduct research at institutes in Belarus, using methods developed at JINR, welcoming colleagues from Dubna, and going on business trips to Dubna when needed.
Industrial potential of Belarus provides a vital contribution to joint projects; its unique equipment is of crucial importance for operation of modern research facility detectors in Dubna, and in other scientific centres participating in joint projects.
In the last decade, several contracts and agreements enabling scientific and technical collaboration have been signed between JINR and its Belarusian counterparts.
Collaboration between Belarusian physicists and JINR scientists has been evolving and its scope has widened. Through such collaboration Belarusian scientists have had the opportunity to establish direct contacts with major scientific accelerator centres worldwide such as CERN, DESY, FNAL, SLSC and other.
Nowadays, Belarus as a JINR Member State is involved in two major CERN experiments: CMS and ATLAS.
International conferences, symposiums, and schools held in Belarus in cooperation with JINR enable exchange of scientific knowledge. Traditional Gomel schools are special among them. Academicians N.N. Bogoliubov, V.G. Kadyshevsky, A.N. Sissakian, corresponding members K.M. Tomilchik and A.A. Bogush, professors I.A. Savin, N.B. Skachkov, F.I. Federov, V.A. Beliy, N.M. Shumeiko, B.V. Bockut and others are among school organisers. The first such school-seminar of this series on current issues of physics of the microworld took place in Gomel in 1971. Three such events were held then with the interval of one year. In 1997, the tradition of Gomel schools was continued after a hiatus. The last 10th school for schoolchildren dedicated to current issues of physics of the microworld was held in the summer of 2009. JINR plays a major role in organising of these seminars.
JINR-Belarus round-table meeting in January 2002 demonstrated strong links between JINR and Belarusian national scientific centres.
A memorandum on cooperation between JINR and the Belarusian Republican Foundation for Fundamental Research (BRFFR) has been in effect since 2006. This memorandum is the basis for the competition of joint research work, and the winning projects receive funding.
