Scientific Programme:
Support and development of the JINR Educational Programme in general (training of physicists and engineers in JINR fields of research and in the interest of the Member States). Further professional development, training and retraining of JINR engineering and technical staff. Promotion of physics research and of the Institute activities among the youth of the Member States including high-school students, university students, and school teachers. 

Expected main results in 2018:

• Support and maintenance of the educational process at JINR-based departments of Russian universities. Preparation and publication – as tutorials – of lectures given to the students and postgraduates at the UC. Support of the system of assigning young researchers to JINR laboratories for preparation of PhD theses without mastering the academic programmes of PhD courses. 
  
  
• Organization and running of Summer Students Practices in JINR fields of research for students of higher-education institutions of the Member States. Participation in the organization and running of international schools on nuclear physics and particle physics for young scientists. Expansion of the research projects of the Summer Student Programme at JINR and of the number of participants of this programme. 
  
  
• Development of the training facilities for practice in the framework of a UC-based scientific and engineering group for the fulfilment of educational programmes on training qualified specialists for the needs of JINR and other scientific centres of the Member States. 
  
  
• Development of the computer infrastructure for organizing and conducting training programmes for data analysis in high-energy physics experiments and for the design of modern physics facilities. 
  
  
• Improvement of the training laboratory and inter-school elective courses for the organization of lecture courses and practical classes in physics for high-school students from Dubna and the Member States. Organization of scientific schools for teachers of physics from the Member States at CERN and JINR. 
  
  
• Organization of real and virtual excursions to JINR and video-conferences for high-school students and teachers from the Member States. Development of the system of teaching Russian, English, French, and German to JINR staff. 
  
  
• Development of training and educational programmes in nuclear and particle physics. Dissemination of information on the Virtual Laboratory of Nuclear Fission in the Member States.
