Overview

This four-day workshop will bring together early career nuclear physics researchers from Russia and the UK to the University of Surrey.

Our aim is to create new networks of fundamental nuclear physics research, while capacity-building the future generation of researchers in the field. This workshop will provide an opportunity to explore current challenges and identify the best ways to tackle them. The workshop will facilitate establishing long-term research links that will benefit career development in fundamental research. Participants will be given the opportunity to present their results, to consolidate their presentation skills, but also to engage actively in discussions.

Program

A pdf version of the program is available here (pdf file, 82 kB).

In addition to scientific session, the workshop will also discuss nuclear data needs for industry and outreach activities in both countries. A careers session will be organised as well, presenting funding opportunities for early career researchers, including support for collaborations.
