“Never refuse the young!”: Yuri Oganessian at Dubna college
On November 01, 2024 a meeting of students with Academician Yu.Ts.Oganessian, FLNR Scientific Leader took place at the College of “Dubna” state university. The event gave students a unique opportunity not only to meet an outstanding scientist with a world-famous name but also to ask questions of interest to them concerning both education and prospects for developing a scientific career.
On Yuri Tsolakovich’s suggestion the meeting was held in the format of an open discussion with questions and answers. In his opening word he accentuated the importance of continuous education noting that human intelligence is determined by knowledges.
During the conversation Yuri Oganessian spoke about the employment opportunities for college graduates at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. He quoted the words of Georgy Flerov, the FLNR founder: “Dunba extremely needs a school of laboratory assistants”.
At the end of the event Yuri Tsolakovich expressed his willingness to help in holding similar informal meetings of students with the leaders of JINR subdivisions in various formats. “I always follow the motto – never refuse the young”, the academician emphasised.
