  Expansion of the functions of the MICC monitoring system with additional accounting elements to track user actions over time. Update and support of the monitoring system, inclusion of monitoring the parameters of new MICC elements in the monitoring

• Development and maintenance of the electronic document system EDS “Dubna”, the project management system APT EVM for NICA, the systems ADB2, ISS, “Document Base”, HR LHEP, CERNDB, EDS “Advance reports” at the request of end users and in accordance with the developed concept of the cloud SaaS platform of the unified administrative and business information system. Maintenance of the JINR Information System for Scientific Certification (ISSC).
  
  Trial operation of the server of scientific publications based on the Invenio-JOIN² software program, provision of interaction with the PIN IS at the level of bibliographic metadata. Development and commissioning of tools for integrating the PIN and JOIN² systems with the aim of transferring the publication data entry to the JOIN² system.

  
  
  Maintenance of the JINRLIB and MATHLIB program libraries. Replenishment of JINRLIB with computational physics programs. Update of mathematical program libraries, their integration with modern programming languages.
  
  Maintenance and modernization of central information servers, portals and databases for information support and software of the MLIT and JINR activity: development of the services of the “Visit Centre” portal; modernization and administration of the website of the PEPAN and “PEPAN Letters” journals; creation and support of websites of conferences, symposia at the request of the laboratories and other JINR subdivisions; organization of websites of the JINR subdivisions and conferences in a hosting mode.
  
  Implementation and maintenance of the web-based information and analytical system to automate the process of managing network and other types of software licenses.
  
  Development of the information and computing system for radiobiological studies, including the experimental data processing and storage system for analyzing behavioral and morphological changes in the central nervous system of laboratory animals.
  
  Implementation of the air quality management system (AQMS) and air quality modeling system (ADMoSS) into the MICC environment.
  
  Development of the project on a “Personal Account” system, which takes into account the peculiarities of working with personal information and simplifies access to the JINR information and computing resources.
