The Kurchatov Scientific and Educational Consortium will train specialists for priority scientific areas.

The II scientific conference "Personnel Training and Legal Support for the Implementation of Scientific Projects of the Megascience Class", organized by the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI and the Moscow State Law University n.a. Oleg E. Kutafin (MSLA), was held on Thursday, June 25, 2020,  in the video call format.

At the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI a meeting on improving the training of highly qualified personnel was held.

The research on specialized source of synchrotron radiation "KISI-Kurchatov" helped scientists to determine the new properties of magnetically hard nanoparticles based on strontium hexaferrite when coated with silicon.

On June 30, 2019, the 7th European Conference on Neutron Scattering (ECNS 2019) began its work in St. Petersburg.

The President of NRC "Kurchatov Institute" Mikhail Kovalchuk told about the intention to create a fund to support universities and research centers, working with synchrotrons.

The CERN continues to work on modernization of experiment on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

An important stage has passed to the preparation of the PANDA experiment at NRC "Kurchatov Institute" – IHEP, which will be carried out at the accelerator complex of the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe GmbH FAIR in Darmstadt (Germany).

VI International forum and exhibition of technological development "Technoprom-2018" completed their work at the Novosibirsk Expocentre. During 4 days "Technoprom-2018" was visited by 7,840 people from 19 countries.

Continuing his working trip to the Siberian Federal District, Vladimir Putin arrived in Novosibirsk, where he took part in the plenary session of the International Forum Technoprom-2018, and also visited an exhibition of technological development.

The Global Forum of Convergent and Nature-Like Technologies is taking place September 28-29 in Sochi. It is being held jointly with the Russian Government in a project developed by the Kurchatov Institute and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The fundamentally new source of synchrotron radiation of the fourth generation, ISSI-4, which is being created in the framework of the national project "Science", has no analogues in the world. It combines a ring accelerator and a free electron laser, explained Alexander Blagov to TASS.

Andrey Klemeshev, Rector of IKBFU and the managing director of the European Center for X-ray Free Electron Laser XFEL (Hamburg, Germany) Robert Feidenhans’l signed an agreement on cooperation.

At the end of February, the international community LHCb (CERN) announced the discovery of a new state of charmonium — a particle consisting of a “charmed” quark and an antiquark.

Physicists of the NRC "Kurchatov Institute" together with foreign colleagues developed a draft of a new experiment at the U-70 accelerator facility in Protvino.

Russia is preparing the launch of new megascience facilities.

This was stated by the participants of the XIII All-Russian Science Festival NAUKA 0+. Scientists of the NRC "Kurchatov Institute" spoke about megascience as a direction for the development of breakthrough areas in science and technology.

Today, the competitiveness of Russian science is the most important factor in ensuring the independence and global competitiveness of a country.
