The International School on Nuclear Physics and Applications is organized by the Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and sponsored by the Bulgarian Nuclear Regulatory Agency. The forthcoming twenty-first edition of the School continues a long series carried out biannually since 1973. The main goal of the School is to stimulate the activity of the nuclear physics community in the region. Colleagues from all over the world attended the previous events and enjoyed the inspiring talks with esteemed members of the nuclear physics community.

The main topics to be discussed are:

Exotic Nuclei and their Properties

Nuclear Structure

Superheavy elements. Synthesis and properties

Rare processes and decays

Radioactive beams. Production and research programs

Evolution of Shell Structure

Collective Modes of the Nucleus

Nuclear Astrophysics

Applications of Exotic Beams in Materials Research

Current and Future Facilities

The program of the meeting will include invited talks, oral and poster presentations of contributed papers. It is expected that during the meeting there will be enough time for informal talks at which one can discuss future prospects of joining the efforts of different scientific centers for performing joint investigations.

Proceedings of the School will be published in Journal of Physics, Conference series.

The meeting this time will be held on September 22-28, 2019 in Riviera Beach Hotel ***** at the resort Golden Sands near Varna, Bulgaria. The Golden Sands resort is known as the pearl of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. We hope that all participants will enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and the beauty of the Black Sea site.

The conference fees are presented in the table below. The fee includes accommodation, meal, and social program (welcome reception, conference dinner and excursion, program for accompanying persons). Reduced fees for shorter participation will not be available. Early registration is extended by 30. June, 2019, late - September 15th, 2019.

All details will be published on the web-page: http://www.inrne.bas.bg/international-school-varna/.

One page abstracts should be prepared using Journal of Physics templates (http://conferenceseries.iop.org/content/authors) and then converted to PDF format for submission on the School’s web site: http://www.inrne.bas.bg/international-school-varna/ by 30. June 2019.

Participants will be lodged in the five stars “Riviera Beach Hotel” located in the Golden Sands Resort, 15 km north from the city of Varna. The distance to the Varna airport is about 25 km. The Varna airport is connected by direct flights with many European cities. It is also a destination for many charter flights. Information about the schedules of Sofia and Varna airports can be found on their websites: www.sofia-airport.bg and www.varna-airport.bg . One can book tickets for Sofia-Varna-Sofia flights on the website: www.air.bg . There are also bus and train services connecting Varna and Sofia.

Formal letter of invitation to help with visa applications will be posted upon request to New Evet company, helping us by the organization of the School by e-mail: This email address is being protected from spambots.
