The fall 1998 the Ioffe Institute has celebrated its 80 year Jubilee. The largest research center in Russia was founded by Abram Ioffe in 1918 in the city where worked many years Alfred Nobel and his father. Many world-known scientists, some Nobel Prize winners has participated in the first-rate event of scientific life in Russia. Along with a ceremonial session at the St Petersburg Scientific Center, the International Conference has been held at the Ioffe Institute and its Lyceum new building.
