   General Information

    The Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) an international intergovernmental organization - was established through the Convention signed on 26 March 1956 by the founding Member States with the aim of uniting their efforts, scientific and material potentials for investigations of the fundamental properties of matter.The Institute bases its activities on the principles of openness for participation to all interested states, of their equal and mutually beneficial cooperation.

   Activity

    The activity of JINR in Russia is realized in compliance with the Federal Law of the Russian Federation "On Ratification of the Agreement between the Government of the Russian Federation and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research on the Location and Terms of Activity of JINR in the Russian Federation".

   Agreements

    JINR has bilateral agreements, protocols, and other documents on cooperation with about 700 institutions in 60 countries, including agreements concluded at governmental levels with Germany, Hungary, and Italy.The Institute also has extensive collaboration with international centres UNESCO, CERN, CLAF, ICTP and research centres in France, USA, Japan and other countries.

JINR has special agreements with:

• Germany (BMBF) in the field of theoretical physics, heavy ion physics and condensed matter physics;
• CERN in the field of high energy physics;
• IN2P3 (France) in the field of nuclear and particle physics;
• C.E.A. (France) in the field of radionuclide metrology;
• INFN (Italy) in the field of nuclear and particle physics;
• Fermilab, BNL and other research centres in USA;
• Hungary (KFKI) in the field of condensed matter physics.

   Educational Programme

    The Joint Institute is called a "Scientific School of Excellence". Many scientists and engineers from the Member States have been trained in this centre. This important role of JINR is determined by its founding principles and by the scientific schools of D.I.Blokhintsev, N.N.Bogolyubov, G.N.Flerov, I.M.Frank, H.Hulubei, L.Infeld, G.Nadzhakov, H.Niewodniczanski, B.M.Pontecorvo, V.I.Veksler, and other outstanding physicists.

    JINR offers good conditions for training and education of talented young people. Over 30 years a branch of Moscow State University has been operating in Dubna. In 1991 a JINR's University Centre was set up. Here senior students from Moscow University, Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and other Russian institutes finish their training under the supervision of leading scientists of the Joint Institute, taking a practice at the JINR Laboratories. In 1995 postgraduate traning was organized at the Institute.

    On the initiative of the JINR Directorate and with active support of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, Moscow Region and Dubna administrations, the International University of Nature, Society and Man was established in Dubna in 1994.
