A key event of the JINR Days in Armenia took place on 29 September. Invited experts from the academic community, research institutes, the IT sector, and industry participated in a roundtable discussion on AI at the Republic’s National Academy of Sciences.

In September, JINR and the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences signed an Addendum to the Memorandum of Understanding. The new document provides for joint prompt fission neutron measurements and the development of specialised high-precision detector systems.

Held from 5 to 9 October and organized with the participation of the Joint Institute, the event discusses radiobiology, radioecology, and radiation safety. Over 400 scientists from 11 countries, representing 108 research centres, are taking part in the congress.

The meeting of the International Scientific Advisory Board of the Natural Science Review journal published by JINR took place on 25 September alongside the Scientific Council session. The event was dedicated to reviewing the journal’s progress and proposals regarding its improvement.

Until 23 October, the Science and Technology Library invites visitors to an exhibition featuring a wide variety of new items – from textbooks and collections of articles to poetry, art, and an English edition of a book dedicated to Fedor Shapiro.

The Mir Centre hosted an event entitled “The beauty of Japan: stillness and movement”, organized with JINR’s participation. Such cultural exchange is an important part of the Institute’s international work, fostering an environment of open dialogue and respect for traditions in Dubna.

The “Tasks and methods of neutron research of condensed matter” conference will take place on 23–26 November in a hybrid format at Dubna University. The Joint Institute is among the event’s organizers. Registration is available via the link until 5 November.

The international contest provides an opportunity for talented young scientists to participate in the Institute’s research projects, work with leading experts, and gain access to unique infrastructure and advanced equipment. Applications are invited until 30 October.

What are the laws of the Universe? What is our world made up of? What forces ensure its stability? Eminent theoretical physicist Dmitry Kazakov will answer these and other questions on 11 October, at 12:15, at the Nauka 0+ festival.

In the video, JINR Director Grigory Trubnikov talks about the Institute’s applied research programme, international cooperation, and human resource development. Scientific Council Co-chair Trần Chí Thành (Vietnam) and Council member Raghunath Sahoo (India) share their views on JINR: the scale of its research and technological capabilities.

Francis Halzen (University of Wisconsin–Madison, USA) received the prize «for decisive contributions to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin». In 2018, the eminent scientist won the Bruno Pontecorvo Prize as well.

Young BLTP JINR employees participated in two international conferences: the Workshop on the Standard Model and Beyond (Greece) and the International Conference on the Exact Renormalisation Group (UK). The members of the Association of Young Scientists and Specialists presented their research results in the general renormalisation group.

AYSS has published the event digest for September with details about the Association’s representatives at conferences and festivals, a photo exhibition at Dubna University, visits and meetings, and much more.

We invite you to watch a recording of the talk “The programme of research of rare processes with large p_T at the Nuclotron” by Georgy Sharkov.

AYSS representatives toured the Rosatom Technical Academy and the world’s first nuclear power plant in Obninsk. During the trip, the Association members discussed cooperation with the Obninsk Council of Young Scientists and Specialists and the Leypunsky Institute of Physics and Power Engineering.

57th track and field run in memory of Academician Veksler

The annual run took place on 4 October with the participation of 42 representatives of the Joint Institute. In the JINR Sports VK group, you can view the results and browse pictures taken by JINR photographer Elena Puzynina.

On 3 October, the JINR Sports Club hosted the 23rd weightlifting tournament in memory of Honoured Coach of Russia, Master of Sports of USSR Yuri Masloboev. The event brought together the strongest athletes from seven cities of the Moscow Region.

Congratulations to LRB research intern Sofya Sakharova on her successful performance in two recent sporting events! At the Moscow Marathon, one of Russia’s largest running events, Sofya successfully completed the 10 km race. In addition, she came third in her age category at the city athletics championships.
