International Seminar "JINR and Latin America: Synergetic partnership for future"

 

Organizers:

 

Dr. Gonzalo Walwyn Salas Plenipotentiary Representative of Cuba to Joint Institute for Nuclear Research

 

JOINT INSTITUTE FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH (JINR) 

 

Date: December 4-5, 2025

 

Location: Havana, Cuba

 

The Joint Institute for Nuclear Research is an international intergovernmental scientific research organization established in 1956 and registered with the United Nations. The Institute was established with the aim of uniting the efforts, scientific and material potentials of its Member States for investigations of the fundamental properties of matter. The main areas of theoretical and experimental research at JINR are Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics and Condensed Matter Physics. JINR comprises seven Laboratories: Veksler and Baldin Laboratory of High Energy Physics, Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems, Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics, Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics, Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, Meshcheryakov Laboratory of Information Technologies, Laboratory of Radiation Biology. Each laboratory is comparable with a large institute in the scale and scope of investigations performed.

Originally established by eleven countries of Europe and Asia, the geography of the JINR was expended to Latin America in 1975 following Cuba’s decision to join the institute.

Currently, JINR has 15 Member States: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, Cuba, Egypt, Georgia, Kazakhstan, D. P. Republic of Korea, Mongolia, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.

The participation of Germany, Hungary, Italy, South Africa, Serbia, China, Mexico and Brazil in JINR activities is based on bilateral agreements signed at the governmental level.

The purpose of the seminar is to bring together JINR and Latin America’s scientists interested in exploring opportunities for collaboration. The seminar will include presentations on all research topics covered by JINR Laboratories and expects talks by leading experts in physics, chemistry and radiobiology from Latin America’s professional societies.
