Strong relations have been established within this period with the Armenian scientific centers. Armenian specialists participated and still participate in many major projects implemented by JINR in the field of Physics for scientific training and retraining in Armenia. Hence, the cooperation with the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research plays a key role in the development of nuclear technology and the integration of Armenian scientists in international researches and training. This cooperation contributes to the development of new high-tech enterprises and increases their role in the global market”, said the Minister of Education and Science and wished the participants a fruitful future cooperation.
