CREMLIN plus
The Opening Conference and kick-off meeting of the Horizon 2020 CREMLIN project will be held on the 6-7 of October 2015 at the National Research Center Kurchatov Institute in Moscow.
The full title of CREMLIN project is "Connecting Russian and European Measures for Large-scale Research Infrastructures". It is to foster scientific cooperation between the Russian Federation and the European Union in the development and scientific exploitation of large-scale research infrastructures. It has been triggered by the megascience projects initiative launched by and in the Russian Federation which is now very actively seeking European integration. The proposed megascience facilities have an enormous potential for the international scientific communities and represent a unique opportunity for the EU to engage in a strong collaborative framework with the Russian Federation.

The National University of Science and Technology MISIS has become a member of an ambitious project SHiP (Search for Hidden Particles) provided by CERN (European Center for Nuclear Research). The purpose of the new experiment is to find an explanation for phenomena not described by the Standard Model of elementary particle physics: the existence of dark matter and the absence of antimatter in the Universe. An international workshop " SHiP: preparation of new experiment at CERN" will be held in Moscow on September 30, 2015. The main goal of this event is to discuss R&D issues of SHiP project which are relevant to competenses of MISIS and other Universities in the area of Materials Science. The spokesperson of the SHiP collaboration Andrey Golutvin (Professor of Physics, Imperial College London and CERN), LHCb technical coordinator Prof. Rolf Lindner, and SHiP technical coordinator Prof. Richard Jacobson will take part in the workshop.
The RUSNANOPRIZE Nanotechnology International Prize is awarded annually to researchers for scientific and technological developments and inventions in the field of nanotechnology and to companies that have successfully launched such developments into mass production with annual turnover of not less than USD 10 million.
In 2015 the Prize will be awarded for the 7th time – this year for developments in the field of Energy efficiency and green technologies.
