DELEGATION FROM DLR VISITS THE RUSSIAN CENTER OF AVIATION SCIENCE

At the end of August a delegation from the DRL Aerospace Center (Germany) visited the Zhukovsky Central AeroHydrodynamics Institute (TsAGI). The goal of the visit was talks on promising focal areas for cooperation in aeronautics.
Sergey Chernyshev, Director General of the TsAGI told foreign colleagues about the activities of the Institute and showed the key experimental facilities for research of aerodynamics and strength, engaged in joint international projects with DLR.
The guests visited the testing unit for lattice sections of composite airframes. Lattice structures have higher potential for weight reduction. The scientists of the Institute told about the work in this focal area, which is one of the vectors for TsAGI and DLR cooperation. In particular, ALaSCA (Advanced Lattice Structures for Composite Airframes of the new generation of civil aircraft) and PoLarBEAR (Production Aspects of Lattice Related Barrel Elements with Advanced Reliability) projects are dedicated to research of such structures.

Project Office 5 -100 launches its new website http://studyinrussia.ru/  to attract foreigners to study in Russian universities.

For the first time all the necessary information about studying in the leading Russian universities is gathered on a single website.
Users are provided with a unique option to quickly look for a training program. The site currently contains descriptions of more than 2 800 programs of higher and postgraduate education. Another option is a step-by-step instruction for entering a Russian university, presented in the form of infographics. Applicants can easily find a list of required documents, information on quotas on free higher education, competitions and events in the field of education.

 

RUSSIA, FRANCE CELEBRATE 50 YEARS OF SCIENCE COOPERATION WITH THE BIOTECH RUSFRANCE 2016 CONFERENCE AT SKOLKOVO

This year France and Russia are celebrating 50 years of cooperation in the field of science and technology with a program of 40 events.
“Fifty years ago, President [Charles] de Gaulle came to the Soviet Union for a two-week visit,” Alexis Michel, science and technology counsellor at the French Embassy in Russia, told the conference.
The French leader visited many science centers, Moscow State University and Akademgorodok, the purpose-built science town in the city of Novosibirsk. Several cooperation agreements were signed in science and technology and space, and are still in place today.

THE EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL STARTED ONLINE PUBLICATION OF THE NICA WHITE PAPER


The European Physical Journal includes 12 journals, each dedicated to a specific area of physics.
On Monday 8 August 2016, the first three articles dedicated to the NICA project, the MPD detector and the BM@N experiment were issued in the journal with the A index, “Hadrons and nuclei”.
The editorial Preface says that the purpose of this collection of theoretical articles is to define scientific problems and the potential of heavy ion collisions experiments that are planned to be implemented at NICA, where the highest densities of baryonic matter ever created in terrestrial laboratories will be provided. Joint efforts of leading scientists of the world are essential to understand this issue. In 2009, with this purpose professors D. Blaschke, A. Sorin and V. Toneev developed the electronic resource White paper (NICA White Paper, http://theor0.jinr.ru/twiki-cgi/view/NICA/WebHome) with the opportunity to publish and to discuss proposals.
