What is

• Nuclear Physics European Collaboration Committee
• founded 1986 by subscribing national research
  councils, who nominate nuclear scientists as
  representatives for 3-6 years
• Objective of NuPECC
• To strengthen European collaboration in nuclear
  science through the promotion of nuclear physics
  and its trans-disciplinary use and application in
  collaborative ventures between research groups
  within Europe and particularly those from
  countries linked to the ESF

• ESF
• Founded in 1974
• 80 member organisations (science ministries,
  research councils, academies of science, etc.)
  from
• 30 countries
• NuPECC
• Founded in 1986
• 28 members from
• 20 countries
• 3 meetings a year in different NuPECC countries
