The Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) is an international,
world famous intergovernmental organisation located in Dubna, Russia.
EPS Historic Site of the EPS, JINR is a unique example of integration of
fundamental theoretical and experimental research in nuclear, particle
and accelerator physics with developments and applications to cutting
edge technology and university education.
On 20 January 2021, a
delegation of the EPS composed of the present authors met online with
the Directorate of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR),
including Director Grigory Trubnikov, JINR Chief Scientific Secretary
Alexander Sorin, University Center Director Stanislav Pakuliak, and Head
of the International Cooperation Department Dmitry Kamanin. This
meeting launched prospects for joint initiatives, in particular the
opportunity for the EPS to support Physics Summer Schools for young
scientists and establish closer contacts to increase mutual exchanges
between relevant EPS scientific divisions and groups and the JINR
Scientific Council. A second meeting was held on 18 June to go through
areas of common interest for further cooperation. Theoretical physics,
particle physics, nuclear physics, and high-performance computing were
identified as promising realms for co-organizing schools, conferences
and participations to future programme advisory committees. The EPS will
invite its Divisions and Groups of interest to delegate one or several
of their Board Members to join JINR scientific committees. From its
side, JINR will organise an EPS Young Minds Section in Dubna. Nikolay
Voytishin, the Chairman of the JINR Association of Young Scientists and
Specialists (AYSS), has been appointed as a coordinator for this project
in Dubna.
These discussions resulted in the signature of a letter
of intent between EPS and JINR. The agreement stipulates that JINR will
take in charge the lodging and local expenses of students attending its
Summer Schools, while the EPS will provide 4 grants of €500 per year
for the travel costs. An open call for applications will be managed by
JINR. Applicants will only need to send their CV and a letter of
reference. A panel involving representatives from EPS and JINR will
evaluate the applications and make recommendation to JINR Director and
EPS President who will endorse the choice of the selected students.
The EPS fully supports the JINR Summer School programme and invite its community of young researchers to register on http://students.jinr.ru/en for the coming Summer Schools expected to restart on-site from autumn 2021.
Waiting
for this, they are also invited to enjoy the free-of-charge current
INTernational REmote Student Training (INTEREST) online courses (http://INTEREST.jinr.ru/). The EPS also recommends to attend the JINR AYSS conferences and summer schools (http://uc.jinr.ru/en/isc).
If you are interested in participating to these events, please, contact Ms. Ophélia Fornari (ophelia.fornari@eps.org), Personal Assistant of the EPS Secretary General, or Prof. Stanislav Pakuliak, JINR UC Director (pakuliak@jinr.ru).
The next JINR-EPS meeting is scheduled for September-October 2021.
