Scientific Scope of the School
The School is dedicated to the comprehensive study of nuclear methods in a large spectrum of applications. The School will be organized in the form of several courses on the above-mentioned topics. Each course will start with an elementary introduction to the subject and its development up to the present day status of research in the corresponding field, explaining the possibilities of participating in the related scientific activities in the JINR laboratories and partner institutions of JINR member states and associated members.
The Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) is a large international intergovernmental scientific organization known all around the world for its outstanding contribution to fundamental physics. A significant complex of core facilities, such as research reactor and accelerators, allows JINR to conduct applied research and take part in environmental, life sciences and materials science projects.
JINR has established cooperation with more than 800 research centers and universities and annually organizes more than 70 international conferences and meetings. JINR employees publish about 1500 scientific papers and reports annually.
The Life Sciences part of the courses will include lectures on:
- production of radiopharmaceuticals and theranostics in nuclear medicine
- physics and technology of hadron therapy of tumors
- modern radiation detectors in medical imaging
- radiation biology and its applications in space research and radiation therapy
- radiation neuroscience
- astrobiology
- biomedical applications of nanostructures
- high performance computing and data processing in radiation biology and medicine
The Environmental Sciences part of the course will be concentrated on:
- radioecological assessment of environment
- analytical techniques in environmental studies and nanotechnology
- new technologies of wastewater treatment
- nuclear technologies for dating and imaging in environmental sciences and studies of cultural heritage
- laser technologies applications in accelerators and seismology
- artificial intelligence and machine learning in agriculture and environmental studies
The Materials Science part of the course will be focused on:
- neutron and x-ray scattering for studies of biological systems
- molecular dynamics simulations in soft matter research and drug design
- functional, complex, and nanocomposite materials: structural studies and radiation hardening
All lectures will be given by the scientists from JINR and JINR partner organizations.
Working language of the School is English.
No participation fees.
Participation is available for students in Mongolia (regardless citizenship) finishing their third (penultimate) year of Bachelor studies, Master, or PhD students.
The organizers provide the students with free accommodation in university dormitories and lunch but do not cover health insurance.
