<P class=Default><FONT size=2>The project of Nuclotron-based Ion Collider Facility NICA/MPD (Multi Purpose Detector) under development at JINR (Dubna) is presented. The general goals of the project are providing of colliding beams for experimental studies of both hot and dense strongly interacting baryonic matter and spin physics (in collisions of polarized protons and deuterons).
