Acting Rector of Tomsk Polytechnic University Andrey Yakovlev and Head of the NTI Competence Center "New and Mobile Energy Sources" at the Institute of Chemical Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Chernogolovka) Yuri Dobrovolsky paid a working visit to the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna last Friday.

It is the largest international scientific center, which is managed by a committee of representatives of 18 participating countries. Here they met with the management, scientists of the institute and got acquainted with the work on the creation of the NICA accelerator complex. Tomsk Polytechnic University and the NTI Competence Center in the Science city of Chernogolovka-partners in the scientific and technological consortium"Hydrogen Technology Valley".

In Dubna, the guests met with the Director of JINR, AcademicianBy Grigory Trubnikov. In the laboratories of the institute, they were presented with the work of one of the most powerful supercomputers in Russia - Govorun, as well as the cases and detectors of the future NICA mega-installation. This complex, scientists hope, will allow us to understand how protons and neutrons were formed in the first moments after the Big Bang in the Universe.

"This was our first visit, an introductory one. And we hope that it will become the basis for further cooperation - scientific and educational. Dubna is a city that is considered the driver of modern science in Russia and the world, where discoveries are born on the frontiers, at the intersection of disciplines, " said the acting Rector of TPUAndrey Yakovlev. - Of course, Tomsk Polytechnic University is very interested in developing cooperation with such an international scientific center. I think that we can join forces to develop a new Russian economy related to the development of hydrogen technologies."

During the visit, the guests also got acquainted with educational initiatives and projectsJINR and discussed possible cooperation in the field of hydrogen technologies.

"The whole world is moving to a new energy system, and this is a rare case when Russia is trying to keep up and not only remain a supplier of gas, oil, mineral resources, but also to introduce its hydrogen technologies. We have come to one of the leading research centers, which has its own history and its own huge competencies, "said Yuri Dobrovolsky, head of the Competence Center of NTI" New and Mobile Energy Sources " at the Institute of Problems of Chemical Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences . "We also came here because the hydrogen energy consortium was recently established in Russia, and we want to attract as large an audience and new partners as possible to this initiative."

Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR)

International intergovernmental research organization in the science city of Dubna, Moscow region. The founders are 18 JINR member States. The main areas in which the Institute's researchers work are nuclear physics, elementary particle physics, and condensed matter research. The JINR synthesized all the transuranic elements of the periodic table of chemical elements discovered in the USSR and Russia, and repeated the synthesis of most of the transuranic elements discovered in other countries.

The Institute oversees the creation of the NICA accelerator complex in Dubna. It is one of six draft class magicians in Russia. Construction of the complex began in 2016, the first launch of the collider with incomplete intensity is planned for 2022.
