GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt operates one of the leading particle accelerators for science. In the next few years, the new FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) one of the world's largest research projects, will be built in international cooperation. GSI and FAIR offer the opportunity to work together in this international environment with a team of employees committed to ensure each day to conduct world-class science.

Neutrino group at the Institute of Nuclear Physics 2 (https:// collaborations.fz-juelich.de/ikp/neutrino/index.html) was established in November 2015. Since then it has grown to a dynamic and international group of about 10 young people. The group is specialized in the neutrino physics with liquid scintillator-based detectors. The group members are involved in the data analysis of the Borexino experiment in Italy and in various activities regarding the Jiangmen Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) in China. JUNO is going to be the first multi-kton liquid scintillator detector ever built. The main physics goal is the determination of neutrino mass ordering, one of the key open questions in the present-day neutrino physics. In addition, thanks to its large target mass of 20 kton and an excellent energy resolution of 3% at 1 MeV, it also has a vast physics potential in the field of astroparticle physics, including solar, geo, atmospheric, and supernovae neutrinos. JUNO is planned to be completed by the end of 2023.
