On 30 June – 4 July 2025, the International School on Nuclear Methods and Applied Research in Environmental, Material, and Life Sciences (NUMAR-Gobi 2025) will take place in National University of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar. The organizers are Joint Institute For Nuclear Research (JINR), Nuclear Energy Commission (NEC) of Mongolia, National University of Mongolia (NUM), and Mongolian Academy of Sciences (MAS).
All lectures will be given by the scientists from JINR and partner organizations from Mongolia. The working language is English. Participation is available for students from Mongolia (regardless citizenship) finishing their third (penultimate) year of Bachelor studies, Master, or PhD students. No participation fees.
Official website of the School is https://indico.jinr.ru/event/5376/
You can send your application until 20 June 2025 via the link.
The School will be organized in the form of several courses into life sciences, environmental studies, and materials science. Each course will start with an introduction to the subject and discuss its development up to the modern studies. In addition, the students will learn about the opportunities to participate in the related scientific activities in the JINR laboratories and partner institutions of the JINR Member States and Associated Members.
The Life Sciences part of the courses will include lectures on:
- production of radiopharmaceuticals and theranostics in nuclear medicine
- physics and technology of hadron therapy of tumors
- modern radiation detectors in medical imaging
- radiation biology and its applications in space research and radiation therapy
- radiation neuroscience
- astrobiology
- biomedical applications of nanostructures
- high performance computing and data processing in radiation biology and medicine
The Environmental Sciences part of the course will be concentrated on:
- radioecological assessment of environment
- analytical techniques in environmental studies and nanotechnology
- new technologies of wastewater treatment
- nuclear technologies for dating and imaging in environmental sciences and studies of cultural heritage
- laser technologies applications in accelerators and seismology
- artificial intelligence and machine learning in agriculture and environmental studies
The Materials Science part of the course will be focused on:
- neutron and x-ray scattering for studies of biological systems
- molecular dynamics simulations in soft matter research and drug design
- functional, complex, and nanocomposite materials: structural studies and radiation hardening
