The conference is all about getting scientists, engineers, students, and the industry to meet, exchange cultures and identify new scientific and technical prospects to help overcome both current and future unresolved issues.

The organizers of the 47th EPS Plasma physics conference have reluctantly concluded that it is not possible to deliver an in-person event in Sitges (Spain) from 21st to 25th June 2021. This decision reflects concerns and uncertainties arising from the present public health situation, which will inevitably affect all aspects of conference organization and travel on the relevant timescale. The conference together with its satellite meeting will take place online. The dates of the conference remain unchanged.

7th IEA International workshop: Clustering aspects in nuclei and reactions, a workshop dedicated to the memory of Prof. Mahir Hussein” at the University of São Paulo, Brazil, during the week of October 4-8, 2021. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss our current knowledge and questions from the existing results, and to identify key reactions for stable and radioactive ion beam (RIB) facilities where we need to assess information on their cluster structure.

The workshop will bring together scientists from the fields of nuclear theory, experiment, data evaluation, nuclear astrophysics and other applications. The aim is to review the current status of experimental and theoretical efforts in compound-nuclear reactions and related areas, discuss new developments and needs for improvement, exchange ideas about how to address these needs and share perspectives on the future of the field. This will be achieved by a series of plenary talks, including invited or oral contributions as well as poster presentations. Emphasis will be put on stimulating interactions and discussions among the participants.

Nuclear reaction mechanisms (direct, compound, pre-equilibrium, other), Nuclear fission, Statistical Hauser-Feshbach theory, Surrogate methods, Optical model, Level densities and photon strength functions, R-matrix theory and connecting resolved resonances with statistical regime, Nuclear structure for nuclear reactions, Measurements relevant to compound-nuclear reactions (direct and indirect), Nuclear data, Applications in nuclear astrophysics, energy, medical physics etc., Experimental facilities

The main goal of the Symposium is to discuss the state of the art of our present knowledge of nuclear processes such as fission and quasifission in the region of the very heavy and superheavy nuclei and to identify possible physics cases to be explored with the two new facilities under development, the Super Heavy Element (SHE) factory in Dubna (Russia) and Selective Production of Exotic Species (SPES) in Legnaro (Italy). These two facilities can play an extremely important and unique role in accessing, with different capabilities, unexplored regions of the nuclear chart, in particular the unknown neutron rich side. This area of research is particularly relevant because is of interest for the nucleosynthesis of the elements heavier that iron (r-process) and for the understanding of the existence and persistence of the shell closures. The latter are the main ingredients for the predicted survival of superheavy elements against fission.

The Symposium is also intended as a platform for intensive and detailed discussions, and for gathering proposals regarding experimental programs during the operation of new facilities.

Nuclear Forensics directly supports national nuclear security and is reliant upon access to expertise from right across the nuclear industry, academia and beyond. Many people from a diverse range of disciplines have experience and knowledge that could be invaluable to Nuclear Forensics, which by sharing will help support this exciting and important scientific field. NuFor (Nuclear Forensics) is a 2-day technical conference aiming to bring together experts from academia, industry and government to share developments in the field of Nuclear Forensics to a wider audience. The conference aims to highlight the work done throughout industry and academia that can be used to support national nuclear security, as well as promoting the exchange of information and good practice between those already involved in nuclear forensics and other specialists who could provide wider value to the Nuclear Forensics community.

Showcase research and new advances across academia and industry, Discuss the technical challenges in the field, Demonstrate the applications of fundamental science in Nuclear Forensics, Enhance the UK skill base and career pathways in Nuclear Forensics, Provide a networking opportunity for technical specialists across different disciplines

This conference series began in 1970 at Duke University. The Seville meeting follows the successful events in Glasgow (2013) and Tallahassee (2016); and canvass similar themes. It will highlight the physics of baryons and related subjects in astro-, nuclear- and particle-physics, developing our understanding of the spectrum, structure and reactions of baryons using all available tools. Particular emphasis will be placed on elucidating the role of confinement and emergent mass, key non-perturbative phenomena within the Standard Model. Recent developments at existing facilities and those anticipated from the next-generation will also be showcased.

This conference will bring together a diverse set of scientists interested in the broad topic of few-body physics, providing a snapshot of the current status of few-body physics near unitarity, where the two-body scattering length is the largest length scale in the problem. Successes and open challenges in the area of atomic and nuclear physics, which are--despite the vastly different length and energy scales--intimately linked through, e.g., the three-body Efimov effect, will be highlighted. A major objective is to provide a platform for cross-fertilization between theory and experiment as well as between different research areas (such as nuclear, atomic, molecular, condensed matter, high-energy, and mathematical physics), with universality and its implied organizing principles as a unifying connection.

The 16th Varenna Conference on Nuclear Reaction Mechanisms (NRM2022) will take place in the usual Villa Monastero venue (Varenna, Italy) on June 12-17, 2022, and will be dedicated to Professor Horst Lenske.

Radioactive nuclei play a significant role in many current astrophysical pursuits, from the origin of the elements to the driving of emissions from supernovae (56Ni) and kilonovae (r-process radioactivity). Radioactive nuclei are crucial for direct studies of galactic enrichment (7Be, 26Al, 44Ti, 60Fe, 99Tc, 244Pu) and stellar explosions (56Ni, 44Ti). Stars and their explosions, galaxies and their evolving interstellar medium, and the origin of the solar system are among the targeted astrophysical objects. Stardust, meteorites, ocean floor deposits, cosmic-rays, and gamma-ray spectroscopy provide a rich variety of astronomy to exploit the inherent power of radioactivity. Investigation tools range from numerical models, astronomical instrumentation, and laboratory experiments to derive material compositions and nuclear reaction rates. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers from all these different fields to promote interaction through the common ground of radioactivity.

The Torino Workshops series started in Torino in 1995. Since then, 12 workshops have been held by various institutions around the world. Traditionally, the Torino Workshop focuses on the physics of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and many related topics: stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis, observations (photometry, spectrometry, and asteroseismology), stellar winds, dust and presolar grain formation, galactic chemical evolution, theoretical and experimental nuclear astrophysics. The workshop will bring together experts, and friends, involved in these research fields to identify current key scientific questions and the possible ways to address them by interdisciplinary approaches. This meeting edition will celebrate Prof. Maurizio M. Busso on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Maurizio is among the founders of the Torino Workshop and during his career he has given important contributions to the study of AGB stars and related fields covered in the workshop.
