The Baikal Summer School on Physics of Elementary Particles and Astrophysics traditionally took place at the Baikal Biological Research Station of Irkutsk State University. The school is organized by Irkutsk State University and Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna). Participants are leading and young scientists, students, undergraduates and postgraduate students from universities and scientific organizations of Russia, Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic, Japan, Belgium, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Italy, USA, Mexico, Great Britain, Portugal, Italy, Spain and India.
- Participants get knowledge from «first hands» as lectures are read by leading experts and professors in fundamental and experimental physics. An important aspect of the school is that young specialists have consultations with experts and shape their research topics, - Nikolai Budnev, director of the Research Institute of Applied Physics and co-organizer of the school, commented on.
