Nuclear Physics Forum - October 2026

Wednesday 7 Oct 2026, 14:00 → 17:00 Europe/London

John Smith (University of the West of Scotland)

Our autumn Nuclear Physics Forum will take place online on Wednesday 7th October 2026 from 2pm until 5pm.

In addition to the usual business of the forum, this meeting will address the recently announced outcomes of the STFC prioritisation exercise and the impact on nuclear physics projects and exploitation funding. 

As a reminder, NPAP is seeking expressions of interest for project prioritisation that can be submitted via the online pro-forma.

The meeting will take place online on Zoom...
