Dear colleagues!
The JINR University Center announces the opening of a new ONLINE student program - International Remote Student Training (INTEREST).
The program will function all year round and will be carried out in stages, which are called Waves. Each Wave will last 4-6 weeks. The launch of Wave 1 is scheduled for October 5, 2020.
INTEREST is for students (from second-year students to graduate students) from all over the world, specializing in natural sciences, engineering and IT.
Program website: interest.jinr.ru.
We invite JINR employees to take part in the program as project leaders.
Projects for Wave 1 are accepted until September 7. After this date, it will be possible to create a project and publish it in subsequent Waves. In the appendix you will find instructions on how to create a project.
The deadlines for the stages of Wave 1 and already published projects are posted here: http://interest.jinr.ru/index.php?view_wave=1

On June 23, the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics held a Memorial Seminar devoted to the 60th anniversary of the start-up of the IBR reactor. The Seminar was held both in the FLNP Conference Hall and in a video-conference format.
The Seminar was opened with a short historical review delivered by FLNP Director V.N. Shvetsov. He also conveyed greetings from the Bulgarian colleagues, cooperation with whom has been continuing for many years. Professor P. Petrov, Director of the Institute of Electronics, BAS, congratulated the FLNP employees on the glorious date and wished them new remarkable scientific achievements.
On June 23, 1960, exactly 60 years ago, the first FLNP pulsed reactor reached pulsed criticality, about which a corresponding historical note was made in the Laboratory’s logbook and evidenced by the signatures of all participants in the power start-up. The IBR started a dynasty of pulsed reactors at JINR, later continued by IBR-30 and IBR-2. Next, Yu.N. Pepelyshev presented the concept of a pulsed reactor, further developing the ideas embodied in the IBR-2 (co-authors A.V. Vinogradov, A.D. Rogov, S.F. Sidorkin). The authors assume that it will be possible to minimize the amount of design and development work and use previous successful developments and solutions. The main difference from the IBR-2 reactor is that the units of the reactor control and safety system will be moved inside the core, as is done in the BOR-60, MBIR and BN-600 reactors. This will make it possible to place neutron moderators maximally close to the reactor vessel and improve the level of protection. Also, among the advantages of the project is the possibility of using the reactivity module developed for the modernized IBR-2 reactor and part of its spectrometers.
The report raised many questions, which resulted in discussions in the Conference Hall and on the Internet. V.N. Shvetsov, thanking the speaker, noted that this speech does not mean that the FLNP has not chosen a project for a new neutron source.

The Russian Science Foundation and the National Natural Science Foundation of China start accepting applications for the first joint competition of scientific projects.
Investigations of international scientific teams in all fields of knowledge from the Foundation's classifier can take part in the competition.
Applications for projects must be submitted in parallel to the RSF (by the Russian team) and to NSFC (by the Chinese team) in accordance with the rules of each fund.
Expertise of projects will be carried out both from the Russian and Chinese sides independently of each other. Only those teams that will be able to get a positive assessment from experts from both countries will be able to count on funding.
The leader of the Russian research team can, in addition to the implementation of the project, simultaneously supervise one project of the Foundation and participate in one project of the Foundation as an executor.
The size of one grant from the Russian Science Foundation will be from 4 to 6 million rubles annually, and the three-year research projects themselves are planned for implementation in 2021–2023.
Applications for participation are accepted until July 31, 2020, the results of the competition will be announced in December this year.
Detailed information about the competition and the requirements for participants are presented in the "Competitions" section of the official website of the Russian Science Foundation.
