The NIC School is intended for graduate students and young scientists for attending 14th International Symposium on Nuclei in the Cosmos (NIC-XIV) which is the most important international symposium in the research field of nuclear astrophysics. The NIC-XIV symposium will be held right after this school. The school will take place at Niigata University, which is about 10 km from the NIC-XIV symposium site, during 13-17 June 2016. The lectures, presented by internationally experts, will cover an area of research in nuclear astrophysics, from theories to experiments.
During the school, short oral presentations by students and post-docs are planned. The poster session will be also planned.
Timetable is revised: The School Dinner is held on Wednesday. (26/05/2016)
Timetable is available. (14/05/2016)
