10th International Scientific Conference on Radiation Physics and 5th  International Scientific School opened at RA National Academy of  Sciences

ArmInfo. The 10th International Scientific Conference on Radiation Physics, titled "Beams and Radiation: Interaction and Applications," and the 5th International  Scientific School named after Academician Alpik Mkrtchyan, "Radiation  Physics and Related Applications," have opened at the National  Academy of Sciences (NAS) of Armenia.

As reported to ArmInfo by the NAS press service, the goal of the  event is to stimulate the development of leading scientific fields in  Armenia and create new opportunities for international collaboration.  As part of the conference and scientific school, renowned scientists,  researchers, and students from Italy, Iran, Armenia, Greece,  Malaysia, the United Kingdom, China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia will  discuss scientific achievements and their applications in the field  of radiation-particle interactions. As Vice President of the National  Academy of Sciences of Armenia and Corresponding Member Aram Papoyan  noted at the opening of the conference, Armenia is currently  implementing large-scale reforms in science and higher education, and  one of the priorities of the new strategy is strengthening  international cooperation. "Science is inherently international,  transcending politics and borders, and is one of the driving forces  of human development. An important focus of the strategy is the  active involvement of young researchers. The International Scientific  School will facilitate the involvement of young scientists in broad  international collaboration. I am confident that these events will  deepen scientific ties and lead to new collaborations," Papoyan  noted.

In turn, Professor Sultan Dabagov of the Italian Institute for  Nuclear Research in his speech emphasized that detailed scientific  events provide an opportunity to discuss pressing issues in the field  with leading global experts that need to be addressed in the future.  "We hope that the discussions that will take place this week will  generate new solutions and ideas," Dabagov emphasized. According to  the source, the international conference and scientific school are  organized by the Institute of Applied Physics Problems with the  support of the Committee on Higher Education and Science. They will  continue at the Institute of Applied Physics Problems on June 23-24  and in Jermuk on June 25-28. Discussions will cover the interaction  of radiation beams and particles with various media, sources of  ionizing radiation and their applications, radiation technologies in  archeology, medical physics, the environment, and astronomy, as well  as functional materials and growth.
