5. Fast Access Applications
The User Policy regulates an access to spectrometers complex of IBR-2M for internal users and users from general scientific community, including outside and inside ones
The access to experiments on IBR-2 spectrometers is permitted only on application basis.

regular (55%)
Every user experiment performed at IBR-2 should be followed by an experimental report within 6 months after experiment has been performed

8. Expenses
For the users coming from the Member States or States having special agreements with JINR, the daily allowance and hotel expenses are supported by JINR.
Theme /2011
“Investigations of Nanosystems and Novel Materials by Neutron Scattering Methods”
International scientific and technical cooperation kUSD (now)
In 2006 – 120 kUSD
It essential to increase financing of international scientific and technical cooperation up to a level of 2006 year at least (120 kUSD) for the effective realization of the User Policy after IBR-2M start in the end of 2010
