Ladies and gentlemen,
On behalf of the European Physical Society it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Conference:
NEW TRENDS IN NUCLEAR PHYSICS APPLICATIONS AND TECHNOLOGY
This is the 19th International Nuclear Physics Divisional Conference of the Nuclear Physics Board of the EPS. It is a relatively new experience for the Board to support a Conference in an area so closely linked to applications and technology. I am therefore very pleased to see such a good response to the initiative of Professor Scannicchio and his local Organizing Committee under Professor Zenoni's Chairmanship.
I would like to take this opportunity to say a few words about the EPS Nuclear Physics Board.
The Board consists of 18 people (10 elected plus up to 10 co-opted) from across Europe, with me as Chair. Elections by members of the Division are held if there is competition for a vacancy, which is announced in Europhysics News. The Board exchanges observers with NuPECC.
The Board has 3 major activities:
1. Divisional Scientific Meetings of which this is one. There are usually two per year, but this year there are three. Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics 2 (NPA2), Debrecen, Hungary, 16 20 May 2005. This conference, New Trends in Nuclear Physics Applications and Technology, Pavia, 5 9 September 2005. "Sandanski 3" Co-ordination Meeting in Nuclear Science organized by the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, and the Institute for Nuclear Research and Energy, Sofia, which will be held in Albena, Bulgaria, 25 September to 2 October 2005. This grew out of two earlier meetings in 1995 and 2001 in Sandanski, Bulgaria. The aim of these meetings was to foster and support scientific collaborations in nuclear physics between eastern and western European countries. 2. The Board awards two prizes, usually in alternate years: The Lise Meitner Prize for outstanding contributions in the field of Nuclear Science. The 2004 recipients were Bent Herskind and Peter Twin for their pioneering work on rapidly spinning nuclei, in particular the discovery of super-deformed bands. The IBA-Europhysics Prize for Applied Nuclear Science and Nuclear Methods in Medicine. The 2004 prize was awarded to Guy Demortier. The 2005 recipients are Werner Heil and Pierre Jean Nacher for the development of spin polarized 3He targets and their application to nuclear science and medicine. This prize will be presented later this morning by the Chair of the Awards Committee, Professor Christiane Leclerq-Willain. 3. Other Board activities include: To maintain a watching brief on Nuclear Energy developments through the preparation of a regularly up-dated position paper. Public Awareness of Nuclear Science (PANS) activities in collaboration with NuPECC. To encourage new initiatives for Nuclear Theory cooperation in Europe. To keep informed of major developments in Europe, e.g., the creation of a European Research Council. To foster the maintenance of nuclear physics expertise and education in Europe. More details of most of these activities can be found on our web site, which includes information about all the meetings we sponsor, our prizes and minutes of Board Meetings.
If you are interested in contributing in any way to the Board's work, I urge you to join the European Physical Society as an Individual Member and give the Nuclear Physics Division as your special interest.
The International Programme Committee under Professor Viesti's Chairmanship are to be congratulated for putting together what looks like a very wide ranging and exciting programme. I wish you all a scientifically rewarding and enjoyable five days!
