Art 2 Science Camp Session 1 (Opens in a new window)
Session 1 of the 2019 Art 2 Science Camp for children ages 8-12.
Nuclear and astrophysics aspects for the rapid neutron capture process in the era of multimessenger observations (Opens in a new window)
This workshop will bring together theorists and experimentalists to address the many aspects of nuclear physics and astrophysics that must be considered and properly understood in order to model the r-process
The registration will be open from April 15th. For US participants, there is an opportunity to obtain travel support to ECT* workshops through the EUSTIPEN program.

INT-JINA Workshop: Weak interactions for astrophysics (Opens in a new window)
An informal meeting to discuss weak interactions in hot and dense matter encountered in supernovae and neutron star mergers will be held at the Institute for Nuclear Theory June 3-6, 2019.
Frontiers in Nuclear Astrophysics 2019 Conference (Opens in a new window)
This is the ninth in a series of former JINA and now JINA-CEE meetings that brings together JINA-CEE participants, collaborators, and other interested researchers in nuclear physics, astronomy, and astrophysics to discuss progress and future directions related to the understanding of the origin of the elements and neutron stars.
Frontiers in Nuclear Astrophysics: Junior Workshop (Opens in a new window)
First Frontiers Summer School (Opens in a new window)
Nuclear Science Summer School - NS3 (Opens in a new window)
i-process Workshop (Opens in a new window)
Objectives
This specialized workshop is timely as several experimental opportunities are now opening up. This workshop brings together experimentalists from several labs and the groups performing i-process nucleosynthesis calculations. We will discuss dedicated experimental and theoretical effort for improving our understanding of this process which is required for a better understanding of the origin of the heavy elements.
ICONS workshop 2019 - Investigating Crusts of Neutron Stars (Opens in a new window)
This is a JINA-CEE supported workshop that aims to bring together different areas of research that all involve studies of heated neutron star crusts. This includes observations of different manifestations of neutron stars, theoretical calculations and simulations, and nuclear experiments. One of the primary goals of this dedicated workshop is to have a facilitated discussion about the puzzling source of shallow crustal heating, and what observations/experiments/calculations are needed to move forward.
