JINR: the initiator of future discoveries

On 26 March 2016, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) will mark its 60th anniversary as an internationally known research centre that is a unique example of how fundamental theoretical and experimental studies can be integrated with the development and application of cutting-edge technologies and with university education. JINR member states number 18, of which Hungary, Germany, Egypt, Italy, Serbia and the Republic of South Africa are each under a government-level cooperation agreement with the Institute. Three factors combine to form a solid foundation on which JINR bases its work: commitment to traditions of internationally renowned research schools; unique performance hardware capable of solving problems of current interest in various fields of modern physics; the status of a UN intergovernmental body. Ranked high within the world's scientific community, the Institute has conducted a wide range of research and trained high quality research personnel for its Member States over a period of 60 years since its foundation. In accordance with its Charter, JINR is open to participation by all interested states and ensures equal and mutually beneficial cooperation between them.
