The Nuclear Physics European Collaboration Committee (NuPECC) Long Range Plan 2024 outlines the goals and strategic research directions for the future of Nuclear Physics in Europe. The document, developed with contributions from nearly 6000 scientists and engineers across Europe, will be unveiled today, November 19, 2024 at the “Presentation Symposium of the NuPECC Long Range Plan 2024” at the University Foundation in Brussels.

The Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) has taken part in shaping the Strategic NuPECC Long Range Plan. Members of the Hadronic, Nuclear, and Atomic Physics group have participated in panels that have defined the future of the discipline. Javier Menéndez was a member of the Thematic Working Group on Nuclear Structure and Reaction Dynamics, whereas Arnau Rios was in the Thematic Working Group Nuclear Science - People and Society.

“The NuPECC Long Range Plan is the most relevant strategic document for the nuclear physics community in Europe. It is a huge undertaking, planning the research landscape of our field for the next 7 years. Contributing to this plan was a great honour and a responsibility for us” says Arnau Rios.

The electronic version of the Plan will be accessible on the NuPECC website: http://www.nupecc.org.
