Description

The Nuclear Physics Conference 2025 will feature invited talks from national and international speakers, as well as extensive opportunities for contributed talks. A poster session will take place to showcase work and discoveries, and updates and discussions with senior members of the Science and Technology Facilities Council will be provided at a Town Meeting. The conference is particularly welcoming to Ph.D. students and all are offered the opportunity to present their research.

Further information can be found on the conference website: https://iop.eventsair.com/np2025/

Please upload your talks to this Indico page before the start of your session. As a reminder:

  • Plenary talks are 25 mins + 5 mins for questions
  • Parallel talks are 12 mins + 3 mins for questions
