On 27 October, 10 applicants received diplomas on awarding academic degrees in the big hall of the JINR Scientists' Club. Valery Lebedev, Anatoly Sumbaev, Dmitry Namiot, Alina Volokhova, Dmitry Gremyachkin, Yahor Dydyshka, Vitaly Yermolchyk, Maxim Zakharov, Mikhail Podoinitsyn, and Zhomart Tyulemisov were among them. The event was traditionally held in a festive atmosphere with the participation of guests invited by the scientists who received diplomas.

It was the 12th diploma awarding since September 2019 when the Institute got the right to independently award academic degrees. Employees of VBLHEP, DLNP, BLTP, MLIT, FLNP including citizens of Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, as well as representatives of Lomonosov Moscow State University and the Institute for Physics and Power Engineering named after A.I.Leypunsky.

Presenting the documents, Chairman of the Qualification Commission of JINR Victor Matveev and Scientific Secretary of the Commission Oleg Belov highlighted the high number of qualification papers defended at the JINR Dissertation Councils this year and the importance of making more efforts to train the scientific staff with high qualifications such as candidates and doctors of sciences.

From the point of the Higher Attestation Commission (HAC), of which Victor Matveev is a member, the consistently high number of defended qualification papers is one of the key indicators of the scientific potential of organizations, at which dissertation councils are created. In this regard, JINR demonstrates a positive trend of the number of defences along with increased requirements for dissertations compared to the councils of HAC. To a large extent, ongoing improvement of the training and attestation system of the scientific staff at JINR contributes to this trend. Thus, at the beginning of 2022, the JINR Regulations concerning attestation of scientific staff were updated with the account of more than two years of experience in independent awarding of academic degrees. About half of the applicants, who received diplomas at the ceremony, defended their dissertations in accordance with new regulations. It indicates that innovations were successfully tested. In August 2022, the system of the JINR Dissertation Councils was shifted to a new nomenclature of scientific specialties, as well as the membership of the JINR Dissertation Councils was updated. To date, 6 dissertations prepared in the specialties from the updated list have already been accepted for consideration.
