Training of specialists for the implementation of the Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Synchrotron and Neutron Research and Research Infrastructure during 2019-2027

In 2019 a comprehensive solution to the tasks of accelerated development of synchrotron and neutron research in Russia was given by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation. This was important for the creation of breakthrough technologies, as well as the design of the megascience class research infrastructure in our country. The network of megascience facilities by 2027 is planned to include synchrotron radiation sources in Moscow, Protvino, Novosibirsk and Vladivostok, neutron radiation source in Gatchina, huge scientific and medical centers. The head scientific organization for these significant activities became National Research Center "Kurchatov Institute". The development, construction, operation of megascience class facilities requires large-scale training of specialists and scientific personnel in various fields (Physics of Nanosystems, Optics, Solid State Physics, Materials Science, Physical Chemistry, Electronics, etc.). The article describes the key areas of work in the field of education, which includes creation specific programs for secondary general education, secondary vocational education, higher education, advanced training and professional retraining. It presents the mechanisms of training specialists for Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Synchrotron and Neutron Research and Research Infrastructure during 2019-2027. The plans of creation of an integrated scientific and educational community are announced.
