What is NuPECC doing ?
Angela Bracco Bruxelles 24 -11 2014
NuPECC Mission
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……
In 2013 NuPECC celebrated 25 years of existence
Angela Bracco Bruxelles 24 -11 2014
NuPECC Long Range Plans (Infrastructures in Europe)
The elaboration of a strategy for Nuclear Physics is the main objective of NuPECC
4 Long-Range Planshave been issued 1991, 1997, 2004, and 2010
In the list of Recommendations one is for Applications and education:
Secure and furtherdevelop the Nuclear Physics skills in view of current and future needs in energy generation, medicine and security

Acceleration development
s
Progress in Nuclear Physics due to advances in :
Detector developments
Nuclear Medicine
radioactive isotopes are produced and studied to understand the many forms and complexities of nuclei
Modelling and simulation of the physical processes

2014:A report fully dedicated to medical applications
The focus is on how Nuclear Research is improving human health
Procedures employing nuclear particle and radiations to understand, diagnose and cure diseases are becoming an even-more important component of critical life-saving health care.
Angela Bracco Bruxelles 24 -11 2014
Following the successful model of previous NuPECC reports:
• conveners were engaged by NuPECC Members and Working Groups were set up
• NuPECC Members and Liaisons followed the various steps for the preparation of this report.
• The draft reports were published on the NuPECC website and discussed at an open meeting in Paris on 18 -11-2013
• The input received from the community was incorporated, resulting in the report

Hadron therapy Conveners: Marco Durante (GSI) – Sydney Galès (Orsay, FAIR, ELI-NP) NuPECC liasons : Adam Maj, Jan Dobeš
Medical imaging Conveners: José Manuel Udias (Madrid) – David Brasse (Strasbourg) NuPECC liasons: Faiçal Azaiez, Alexander Murphy
Radioisotopes for medicine Conveners: Ulli Köster (ILL) – Marie-Claire Cantone (Milano) NuPECC liasons: Piet Van Duppen, Ari Jokinen
Focus on a number of recent exciting advances
The emphasis is where the nuclear physics community plays an important role

• This report is not a position paper. Rather, it gives an updated overview of how fundamental nuclear physics research (in its broadest sense) has had and will continue to have an impact on developments in medicine.
• With this document NuPECC intends to inform (in brief) the scientific community (beyond the nuclear physics community), funding agencies and policy makers of some of the latest developments in nuclear medicine driven by the technical efforts currently underway in nuclear physics facilities.
• As with previous Framework Programmes, it is important to be engaged in and committed to nuclear physics projects within Horizon 2020 that will enhance the mutual roles of fundamental and applied nuclear research.
