abstract: Nuclei in the Cosmos is the most important international meeting in the field of nuclear astrophysics. It brings together nuclear experimentalists, nuclear theorists, astronomers, theoretical astrophysicists, chosmochemists and others interested in the scientific questions at the interface of nuclear physics and astrophysics. These questions concern for example the origin of the elements in the cosmos and the nuclear reactions that occur in the big bang, in stars and in stellar explosions.

abstract: The Photonuclear Reactions GRC is a forum for researchers to present their latest results, discuss ideas with others in the field, and identify future opportunities for our research community. The conference topic is current theoretical and experimental work on electron and photon scattering from nucleons and nuclei.

abstract: Few-body physics continues to give important contributions to understand wide range phenomena in physics and chemistry. Recent developments in theoretical and computational techniques have stimulated new important findings in this field. On the experimental side, with the recent advances in accelerator and detector technologies it is now possible to measure the many observables with unprecedented accuracy, at certain kinematics inaccessible previously. This situation certainly needs a forum in which the theoretical predictions and experimental measurements can be presented, discussed, and criticized in order to better understand the interaction between particles at least on hadronic level. The Asia-Pacific Conference on Few-Body Problems in Physics (APFB) provides one of the excellent forum for this.

abstract: The Symposium will continue the general themes of earlier conferences with special emphasis on gamma-ray spectroscopy, advances in nuclear theory, nuclear structure, nuclear reactions, nuclear data and applications related to capture reactions.

abstract: The conference will cover new developments in the study of nuclear structure and nuclear phenomena: from shell model states to highly collective excitations, from light to superheavy nuclei, from the exotic proton drip-line nuclei to the very neutron rich nuclear systems. We will discuss the role of todays nuclear structure research in the understanding of the astrophysical processes. A review of latest experimental methods and apparatus will include presentations of new opportunities and challenges arising at the radioactive ion beam facilities.

abstract: This conference has already a long history, as its origins go back to the 1950s and 1960s to Atomic Mass and Fundamental Constants (AMCO) and the Nuclei Far From Stability (NFFS) series of conferences. Held jointly in 1992, the conferences officially merged in 1995 in Arles, France where the First International Conference on Exotic Nuclei and Atomic Masses (ENAM) was held. Since then, subsequent conferences have been held at Bellaire, Michigan (1998), Hameenlinna, Finland (2001), and Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Georgia USA (2004). The fifth conference will be held at Castle Ryn in Mazurian Lakes District, Poland, organized by the University of Warsaw together with the Soltan Institute for Nuclear Studies.

abstract: Kernz08 aims at covering a wide spectrum of research activities, both theoretical and experimental that bring together nuclear structure and nuclear reactions, as well as applications such as nuclear astrophysics. Though these research directions often involve different sub-communities of nuclear physicists, we have seen that the interplay between these fields has not only been strengthened in recent years, but should also strengthen and unify nuclear physics itself.

abstract: The XII Workshop on Nuclear Physics (WONP-2005) offers an outstanding opportunity for the world scientific community to meet in Havana to discuss current trends and tasks in several areas of applied and theoretical nuclear physics.

abstract: The COMEX conferences are a continuation of the long series of topical conferences on giant resonances started in 1979. The scope of COMEX3 will be similar to that of the previous ones, COMEX1, held in Paris in 2003 and COMEX2, held in Sankt Goar, Germany. Some of the main topics are giant resonances in cold and hot nuclei, collective modes in exotic nuclei, spin and isospin modes, clustering and pairing effects and multi-phonon excitations. In addition, applications in astrophysics and related collective phenomena in non-nuclear systems are part of the scope of the conference.

The conference will be hosted by the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University and will be held at Mission Point Resort on Mackinac Island, Micigan.
