Description

Dear Colleagues,

a Workshop on Nuclear Science Applications will take place in Helsinki from 25 to 27 November 2019. The workshop is organized within the NUSPRASEN work package of ENSAR2, the integrating activity for European research in Nuclear Structure, Nuclear Reactions and Applications of Nuclear Science (www.ensarfp7.eu, www.nusprasen.net).

Sessions on applications in the following fields will be held:

medical field
heritage science
nuclear safety, security and safeguards
collaboration with and the needs of industry

Additionally, a discussion on future collaborations in nuclear science applications will be organised.

One or two invited speakers will set the stage for each session, and be followed by presentations to be selected from submitted abstracts.

More detailed information will be distributed at the end of August.

Please find more information under Important Information

Best wishes
