■ Launched in 2004, over 1700 participants
To extend and strengthen the JINR
research partner network, contribute
to the training of scientific staff, and
popularise science, JINR builds a
network of its information centres.
The JINR Information Centre is a
local “Embassy” and intermediary
of JINR in science and education.
Information centres aim to attract
potential partners, staff members,
and students. They initiate events to
increase awareness about JINR. The
key tasks of information centres are to
popularise the results of international
studies achieved at JINR, provide
career guidance, and attract young
people to science, including from the
school age. Eight JINR Information
Centres already operate in Cairo
(Egypt), Sofia (Bulgaria), Yerevan
(Armenia), Vladikavkaz, Petropavlovsk-
Kamchatsky, Arkhangelsk, Tomsk,
and Vladivostok (Russia).
