"NICA is the future, not only of our Laboratory, but also of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research," said Vladimir Kekelidze, director of the Laboratory of High Energy Physics, "and everything related to this mega-project is in the spotlight of the Program Advisory Committee for Particle Physics". At the 42nd session of this committee, there was a discussion of the progress of the implementation of three related projects: "Nuclotron–NICA", MPD and BM@N (baryon matter at the Nuclotron).

Soil testing by piles at the site of the collider NICA LFEP JINR, 2015
The first step towards the construction of the NICA collider complex has been made. On New Year's Eve, wells were drilled in a prepared area at the Laboratory of High Energy Physics. From the depth of 50 meters to the surface the ground rose. In accordance with the technical task of the company “STRABAG” — the general contractor for the construction of the collider, the control wells were designated in those places where the MPD and SPD detectors will be located.
