Dear colleagues and friends,

In Dubna, a delegation from the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, headed by Director-General Song Yuntao, met with the JINR Directorate and explored the Institute’s research infrastructure. During the meetings, Chinese representatives got acquainted with JINR’s achievements as a world-leading centre in various areas of science.

The 15th Collaboration Meeting of the Baryonic Matter at Nuclotron (BM@N) Experiment is taking place at JINR from 14 to 16 October. More than 130 specialists are discussing latest cutting-edge research results of the collaboration and laying out further plans.

JINR employees from three laboratories, including young specialists from Vietnam, recently took part in the 16th Vietnam Conference on Nuclear Science and Technology. Read about this and much more in the latest JINR Newsletter.
