UNN signs an agreement with the CBRN Safety Agency of the Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan
On November 15, an agreement on cooperation in the field of education and science was signed between UNN and the Agency for Chemical, Biological, Radiation and Nuclear Safety of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan. The event was organized in a teleconference format.
Rector Oleg Trofimov took part in the signing ceremony on the part of Lobachevsky University. The Tajik side was represented by Ilkhom Mirsaidzoda, Director of the Agency for CBRN Safety of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan.
According to UNN Rector Oleg Trofimov, the Agency for Chemical, Biological, Radiation and Nuclear Safety of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan is a very modern, highly equipped organisation. It conducts research on topics relevant and close to those of Lobachevsky University, and also implements master's programmes.
“Our colleagues are interested in attracting scientists in the fields of biology, genetics, and inorganic chemistry. Lobachevsky University has a good research background in each of these areas. We are ready to share and actively engage in joint research work. We also expect that in the near future we will launch internships for our researchers in Tajikistan and for Tajik scientists at Lobachevsky University,” said the Oleg Trofimov.
In the course of the online meeting, the parties agreed to organise and conduct joint forums, conferences, seminars, round tables; joint research within the framework of the projects being implemented; publication of materials, as well as joint training of personnel in the Agency's field of expertise.
The meeting was particularly focused on the interaction between the CBRN Safety Agency of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan and the UNN Technology Transfer Centre. Within the scope of work in this area, it is planned that internships will be organised for both Russian and Tajik master's students and young scientists who are engaged in research in the field of radiochemistry and radiophysics, in particular, for those studying technologies for the extraction of rare-earth radioactive elements from mineral ores.
The Agency on Chemical, Biological, Radiation and Nuclear Safety of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan is a state regulatory body that implements a unified state policy and coordinates the work of other authorised bodies in the relevant fields.
