Abstract:

The abstract examines the contribution of NRNU MEPhI to the work of the CTBTO Youth Group and the potential for further cooperation. MEPhI students have been active participants in various activities of the Youth Group since its foundation: The First International Conference of the CTBTO Youth Group was held on the basis of MEPhI in October 2017. Participants of the Youth Group from MEPhI were active during the CTBT Science Diplomacy Symposium in May 2018 and the GEM-Youth International Conference in August 2018. Today MEPhI is a leading university that trains specialists to work with nuclear technologies. The Institute of Nuclear Physics and Engineering, Institute for Laser and Plasma Technologies, Institute of Cyber Intelligence Systems, Institute of Physical and Technical Intellectual Systems, and Institute of Engineering Physics for Biomedicine provide the main areas of technical education in which MEPhI has long conducted educational programs to train specialists for the IAEA. In addition, much work is being done on training in the field of scientific and technical cooperation on the basis of the Institute of International Relations. This experience can be actively and effectively applied in the training of young professionals for the benefit of the CTBTO.
