Description

The UK Nuclear Physics Community Meeting is an annual event for academic staff and research fellows in nuclear physics in the UK. It is an opportunity for the community to come together to discuss recent news and successes, plus the strategy for the next few years. The event will host updates from the IOP Nuclear Physics Group, the STFC Nuclear Physics Advisory Panel (NPAP), Nuclear Physics Grants Panel (NPGP) and the Nuclear Physics Forum. Contributed talks on recent physics results and projects will be invited, as well as introductory talks from new fellows and academic staff in the community.

This event will now take place at Mary Ward House due to repair works at the IOP Building. Mary Ward House is a short walk away from King's Cross station at:
