Scientific Cooperation between Karazin University and IJCLab: French-Ukrainian Workshop

On 12–14 October 2026, the 11th French-Ukrainian Workshop on the Development of Instrumentation for High-Energy Physics took place at the Irène Joliot-Curie Laboratory (IJCLab) of Paris-Saclay University. The event was dedicated to the memory of distinguished scientist Mykola Fedorovych Shulha, a graduate of the School of Physics and Technology, long-serving Head of the O. I. Akhiezer Department of Nuclear and High-Energy Physics, and Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

The workshop participants discussed key topics, including:

• fundamental high-energy and particle physics;
• particle interactions with matter;
• the development of advanced detector technologies;
• innovations in accelerator physics and medical physics.

The Karazin University scientific community was proudly represented at the event by School of Physics and Technology researchers Serhii Fomin, Ihor Kyryllin, Serhii Trofymenko and Anna Butenko, who delivered presentations on relevant topics.

The workshop provided a platform for exchanging expertise and identifying avenues for future cooperation, particularly in joint research by Karazin University and IJCLab scientists within the international LHCb collaboration at CERN.
