The Joint Institute for Nuclear Research offers considerable educational opportunities in the directions of its research. Article 2, item 4 of the JINR Charter states: “The Institute… promotes educational activity, including the teaching of students and postgraduates in disciplines coinciding with the Institute’s main fields of research, aimed at training high-qualification specialists for the Member States”.
A wide range of learning opportunities are provided to students and postgraduates: training, internships, as well as work in the JINR laboratories’ research teams under the supervision of leading specialists as part of programmes. Students have the chance to study physics, engineering sciences, computer science, and other fields of study, engage in the Institute’s research, establish valuable professional contacts with colleagues and scientists, develop existing competencies and master new skills using modern equipment and technologies, as well as gain knowledge not only from textbooks and lectures, but also from personal practical experience.
The JINR University Centre offers students and postgraduates the following opportunities:
- Preparing qualifying papers at JINR (bachelor’s and master’s papers, candidate’s dissertations), undergoing internships and work training. Training participants are provided with accommodation, an individual curriculum, and the opportunity to attend introductory courses of the JINR-based university departments. Requirements, the list of necessary documents, and the curators’s contacts are available via the link on the JINR University Centre website.
- Participating in the START student programme. Natural science, engineering, and IT students from all over the world – including undergraduates who finished their junior year, seniors, as well as master’s and first-year postgraduate students – are kindly invited. The participants will spend six to eight weeks solving real scientific and engineering problems at JINR under the supervision of the Institute’s leading specialists. The internship provides an opportunity to find a scientific supervisor for a future bachelor’s or master’s qualifying paper or candidate’s dissertation and increases the participants’ chances of becoming part of the JINR large international team.
- Joining the online INTEREST programme for sophomore to senior undergraduates and postgraduate students specialising in science and technology from any country in the world. The programme aims to help participants choose a research project and facilitate their interaction with supervisors as much as possible. INTEREST provides a unique opportunity to:
— do science online;
— increase the chances of getting selected for onsite JINR programmes;
— get acquainted with the Institute, its laboratories, main facilities, and key areas of studies;
— network;
— find a potential scientific supervisor for a qualifying paper;
— start a research career at JINR.
